In the brain, dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter âa chemical released by nerve cells to send signals to other nerve cells. The brain includes several distinct dopamine systems, one of which plays a major role in reward-motivated behavior.
Release of the neurotransmitter results in feelings of pleasure and reward and contributes to reinforcement of the behavior that led to dopamine release. Chronic drug use is believed to decrease dopaminergic function and contribute to drug-seeking behavior.
