Do You F*cking Mind?

301. The Neuroscience of Caffeine: Performance enhancing, Neuroprotective, and being more Alert

Listen Later

In this episode we dive deep into the science behind Caffeine, the psychoactive substance found in coffee, tea, gels and other products. I chat about what it does to the brain, how it keeps you awake, why it’s a performance enhancer. Plus I explore how it interacts with dopamine within the brain to increase alertness as well as dopamine signalling in the brain.
