It’s kinda like engine oil for the brain and also gives you the feel good feeling. If you want to find out what happens without it read up on Parkinsons disease as that’s when the cells that make dopamine die off.

It’s involved in a ton of things. Reward processing and motivation are probably the most well known, but it’s also involved in walking, hallucinations, cognitive decline, tremors, and mood. It also helps regulate your kidneys and your immune system.
