Dopamine’s Secret Link to Anxiety?

Turns out dopamine isn’t just about feeling good—it’s also running the show when it comes to anxiety and decision-making! Scientists found that two types of dopamine receptors in the brain’s ventral hippocampus actually control whether we face our fears or run away. Even wilder: activating one of these receptors made mice less fearful. This could totally change how we treat anxiety and mood disorders.
