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

32 min • 11 februari 2024

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.
