What is the difference between dopamine and serotonin?
In: 4
Dopamine typically feels motivating. Serotonin can feel comforting/pleasurable.
Serotonin also acts on serotonin receptors in your gut, heart and other organs. Stimulation of the 5ht2a receptor increases the likelihood of someone noticing angry faces. Too much dopamine can make someone apathetic, too much serotonin can induce anxiety aswell as pleasure.
They do alot and nobody can list it all.
Dopamine is the chemical your brain produces in response to anticipation. It’s the thing that makes you feel good when you’re expecting something good to happen.
Serotonin is produced after you do of receive something. It’s the reward chemical.
They’re 2 completely different neurotransmitters. This is like asking what’s the difference between water and gasoline. If you want a more specific answer, you’ll need to ask a more specific question.
