Dopamine motto is “much more”

In the beginning, Dopamine was perceived as the "pleasure molecule".

Participants in early researches had pleasure when Dopamine was activated.

Reputation was consolidated through more research on drug addicts, and it was named the reward circuit. 

Later, it was discovered that Dopamine is not an indicator of pleasure but a reaction to unforeseen, possibility, and anticipation. 

The Circuit of Dopamine was made to promote behaviors that lead us to survival and reproduction.
