Which of the following statements is TRUE about dopamine?

Answer
A
The brain's purpose in releasing dopamine is to naturally discourage healthy behaviors.
B
The release of dopamine as a result of drug use tricks the brain into believing the drug is good for the body.
C
The release of dopamine as a result of drug use promotes normal brain functioning.
D
Drug addicts often have a decreased toleration for dopamine after prolonged drug use.

Explanation

Dopamine is involved in the brain’s reward and learning systems. Drugs can trigger a large release of dopamine, which reinforces drug-taking and can make the brain treat the drug as highly rewarding—even though it may harm the body. Therefore, the true statement is that drug-related dopamine release can trick the brain into believing the drug is good for the body.
