0:00Almost every drug of addiction, whether we go from nicotine to alcohol to heroin to cocaine to amphetamine, almost every drug of addiction hijacks that dopamine system we were talking about.

0:13We find when that circuitry is not working, that you can get profound loss of motivation, apathy.

0:19When that circuitry is on overdrive, because it's been hijacked by these drugs, you get states of hypermotivation.

0:26So, of course, this is going to be overly simplistic to think dopamine levels are the only factor that affect our motivation.

0:46Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast, where we discuss science and science-based tools for everyday life.

0:55I'm Andrew Huberman, and I'm a professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine.
