A new study revealed that exhaustive training without adequate rest alters the regulation of dopamine in the hippocampus, a brain region closely linked to memory and the regulation of emotions.
About Dopamine:
Dopamine is a hormone and a type of neurotransmitter, or chemical messenger, made in your brain.
It is a nitrogen-containing organic compound.
The nervous system uses it tosend messages between nerve cells. These messages also travel between the brain and the rest of the body.
It is often referred to as the “feel-good” chemical in the brain.
High or low dopamine levels are associated with diseases including Parkinson’s disease, restless legs syndrome, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Dopamine is found in humans as well as animals, including both vertebrates and invertebrates.
