Since doing activities you enjoy can increase dopamine—the neurotransmitter responsible for happiness, satisfaction, motivation, and more—the items on your list should ideally do just that ...
“Since there is low risk to creating a dopamine menu, it can be really helpful for someone who has ADHD, depression, sleep deprivation, anxiety and more, making it an easy trend to jump on ...

Dopamine replacement therapy (DRT) is an effective treatment for patients with decreased levels of dopamine.
These concentrations are much lower than for classical monoamine neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. [19] However, the rapid metabolic turnover of trace amines, consequent to strong susceptibility to monoamine oxidases , is suggestive that they may be present as chemical synapses at much higher concentrations than ...
The reward system (the mesocorticolimbic circuit) is a group of neural structures responsible for incentive salience (i.e., "wanting"; desire or craving for a reward and motivation), associative learning (primarily positive reinforcement and classical conditioning), and positively-valenced emotions, particularly ones involving pleasure as a core component (e.g., joy, euphoria and ecstasy).

Abnormal dopamine receptor signaling and dopaminergic nerve function is implicated in several neuropsychiatric disorders. [1] Dopamine receptors are therefore common drug targets. Dopamine receptors activate different effectors through not only G-protein coupling, but also signaling through different protein (dopamine receptor-interacting ...
Proponents of dopamine fasting argue that it is a way to exert greater self-control and self-discipline over one's life, and New York Times technology journalist Nellie Bowles found that dopamine fasting made her subject's everyday life "more exciting and fun".
