   This causes a de-coherence in cells. This is how a physicist would explain it. A regular person would describe it as a shorting out of the system. A blown fuse, so to speak. It simulates what a “brown out” may look like in living thing. This is why people with Parkinson’s disease get an expressionless face, seem to lose their emotion, and why their muscle motions seem to slow down so much. Thinking is slowed and cognitive haze develops. These are the terms people use to describe a low dopamine state. Low dopamine states affect the global control of the organism and it also impairs the ability …

   The role of dopamine in behaviour and decision-making is often cast in terms of reinforcement learning and optimal decision theory. Here, we present an alternative view that frames the physiology of dopamine in terms of Bayes-optimal behaviour. In this account, dopamine controls the precision or salience of (external or internal) cues that engender action. In other words, dopamine balances bottom-up sensory information and top-down prior beliefs when making hierarchical inferences (predictions) about cues that have affordance. In this paper, we focus on the consequences of changing tonic level…

   And the idea that there's two sides of that, and actually, this is a good idea to introduce this term of hormesis, which you and I were talking about offline, the idea that you have this addiction circuit where you get a reward, but then you drop to a baseline that's below the original baseline, and then it's a downward spiral, versus hormesis, which is more like exercise. Can you explain hormesis? - [Daniel] Yeah. And I just wanna say, because you have an educated audience, we're simplifying everything for model purpose and speed purpose. Obviously, it's not just dopamine, right? You can have…
