Hello hunny bunnies ^^!!! Welcome back to the fourth episode of "Daydreaming...Again". I am your host, Princess Esezobor. In this episode, we're diving into the world of dopamine and its effects on our brain and behaviour. We'll explore the complex interplay between dopamine, motivation, and pleasure, and how it can impact our daily lives. Join me, your host, Princess, as we go on a journey through the ups and downs of dopamine, from deficiency to dominance, pronounce nigra as 'Viagra' and other words wrong.

We'll also discuss the negative effects of dopamine deficiency, including depression and anxiety, as well as the potentially harmful effects of dopamine dominance, such as addiction and impulsive behaviour. We'll also discuss the fascinating ways in which dopamine influences the content of our daydreams, as well as the role it plays in our ability to focus and sustain attention. By the end of this you'll probably learn nothing, but we move just like the drama in my life. Stay tuuuuuunnnned!!! References

The development of new pharmaceuticals is a complex and expensive process that often requires a lot of time and effort to produce. Despite having these challenges ahead pharmaceutical companies have managed to introduce advanced products, medications, and therapies to treat a number of conditions. However, there is still a lot of research to be done on these drugs as well as these conditions that they are used to treat. Today I will dive into the research of these pharmaceutical drugs and how they work. Join me...Princess to wrongly pronounce ''Thalidomide''.
