  I studied parts of the basal ganglia, part of the dopaminergic circuits of motor control. I’m not sure if it’s a poorly written article or the scientist was overstating his position - I don’t know any neuroscientists who think dopamine is “sprayed” across the brain.

    But the news article mischaracterizes it.

    I feel the need to somehow combine these two images.

    You don’t go for your weekly dopamine sprays? It’s totally the new thing.

  Dopamine doesn’t flood the brain as once believed – it fires in exact, ultra-fast bursts that target specific neurons. The discovery turns a century-old view of dopamine on its head and could transform how we treat everything from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to Parkinson’s disease.
