Chapters:
00:00 Everything you do requires motivation and reward (or punishment)
00:45 Need an introduciton to dopamine?
00:57 This video is part of an ongoing dopamine mini series
02:03 This video is also part of a neuroscience series
04:00 I'm Andrew, and this is Sense of Mind. Please like and follow!
05:17 What is a "motivational state"?
07:11 What is a "reward"? (in psychology and neuroscience)
08:35 Important brain regions for reward and motivation.
09:28 Dopamine is NOT all about pleasure.
10:30 Dopamine's main function: Prediciton Error Signaling
12:12 Unexpected reward increases dopaminergic firing in reward regions
13:20 Expected rewards trigger dopaminergic firing only during the cue
14:40 Expected reward doesn't occur? Dramatic decrease in dopaminergic firing.
16:23 Expected reward over long period of time causes no increase in dopamine.
18:27 We will be going deeper into all of this in future videos, so stay tuned!

One of the best discussions of Prediction Error. Thank you.

[@senseofmindshow]

Thank you very much!!

[@perkylovemuffin]

Finding your content on dopamine and serotonin really interesting. Do you have any videos on how they impact each other please? Does taking amino acids that are precursors to dopamine or taking L-Dopa have an effect?

[@muskduh]

Thanks for the video!

[@beneh9366]

Finding your channel definitely was an unexpected reward ;)

[@senseofmindshow]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching! There is more positive reward prediction error where that came from :D

[@guidaribeiromap]

Great job.

[@senseofmindshow]

Thank you so much!

[@anweshamukherjee5729]

This was very helpful for me. Thanks

[@senseofmindshow]

So glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!

[@gertj363]

💓thank you for this! Liked and subscribed

Thank you for watching it and subscribing!

[@skayser5309]

What is the program called which you used to show the brain regions?

[@onedayapp3534]

13:50 I do not find sense that dopamine is released when that friend gives us the cookie, taking into account that dopamine is related to motivation, it would be logical that it is released when we think of something good that we believe we can achieve and thus give us the necessary motivation, it would be something like thinking that in two days our friend will give us a cookie if we do x thing.

Thanks for the video! I found the intro to be a little bit too long

[@senseofmindshow]

Thank you for the feedback! I will try to cut back on that next time.

[@Marcos10PT]

When does the presenter start talking about dopamine?

[@88tongued]

You and Dr. Maika Steinborn should get married!
