    Glossary Dopamine

    neurotransmitter involved in reward, pleasure, and movement regulation

    Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, often referred to as DA or 3,4-dihydroxyphenethylamine, that plays a crucial role in the brain's reward and pleasure systems. It is also involved in regulating movement, attention, and emotional responses, and its imbalance is linked to conditions such as Parkinson's disease and schizophrenia.
