Happiness Booster
The answer lies with
DOPAMINE
What is Dopamine?
a neurotransmitter that activates pleasure centers in certain parts of the brain
helps regulate movement and emotional responses, motivate us
How?
caffeine increases level of dopamine (released from prefrontal cortex)
causes reabsorption of dopamine in the body to be slower
A deficiency of dopamine is likely responsible for the loss of pleasure and motivation found in major depression
Parkinson Diseasea disorder of the brain that
leads to shaking (tremors) and difficulty with walking, movement, and coordination.
participants who carried types of a specific gene — called GRIN2A — received neuroprotective benefits from coffee against Parkinson’s
Caffeine act as antagonist to the A2A receptor, blocking its binding site, rendering it inactive
Made on mice. Inject MPTP to mice pre-treated with caffeine
Recent Research shows:
Extra:
Why don’t you feel sleepy after taking coffee?
Woke up >> neurons produce
adenosine >> adenosine receptor at CNS monitor the action >> caffeine as a block of
wood >> bind at there and doesn’t activate the
receptor >> no stimulant will be
send to brain
Improve on Short-Term
Memory
TWO TYPES Working memory Short-term storage memory
THE STUDIES Some of the studies indicate that drinking coffee can improve short term memory Reaction times Reverse symptoms of Alzheimer's disease Regular consumption of caffeine
How it may work?
• Adenosine and Caffeine• Improving alertness temporarily• Increased neuron firing
HOW IT MAY WORK? Adenosine and Caffeine Improving alertness temporarily Increased neuron firing
• Adrenal gland –produces adrenaline
Adrenal gland –produces adrenaline
Increased Attention andMemory Performance
Feel Fresh and not Sleepy
Decreased Risk of Heart disease
Increased physical performance
Decreased Risk of Liver Disease
Effect of Moderate Caffeine Consumption
