Myths v Science: What Does Dopamine Actually Do? | What’s Up Docs

Chris and Xand van Tulleken dive into dopamine – one of the most talked-about chemicals in modern wellness culture. But what is dopamine, really? What role does it play in pleasure, motivation, learning, and movement? And how accurate are ideas like “dopamine hits”, “dopamine detoxes”, or being “addicted to dopamine”? Chris and Xand speak to Masud Husain, Professor of Neurology & Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Oxford, to cut through the myths and find out what dopamine does, what it doesn’t do, and why understanding it properly might change the way we think about our behaviour and our brains. 0:00 Coming up 0:38 Dopamine myths vs science 1:17 What is dopamine and how does it work? 4:56 Motivation and reward 7:51 Dopamine narrative on social media - How accurate is it? 11:56 Is a "dopamine detox" beneficial? 13:14 Is "dopamine addiction" real? 13:45 Fake neuroscience 14:26 How does Professor Masud Husain’s research affect his daily life?
