Dopamine makes us more eager for equality
March 23, 2015 / Bio Valley BIOON / -- If you have a tablet that will make you more compassionate and more willing to help the unfortunate, are you willing to eat it? Recently, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley have made significant progress in this area, and their research results are published online in the international journal current biology.
The researchers found that changing the neurochemical balance of the prefrontal cortex by drugs led participants to be more willing to participate in prosocial behavior, such as ensuring an even distribution of resources. Future research may have a deeper understanding of the relationship between dopamine regulatory mechanisms in the brain and mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, and open up a new path for developing tools for diagnosing mental illness and for treating mental disorders.
In this study, participants were divided into two groups and treated with their placebo and tokapone medications, respectively. Tokapeng is a drug that prolongs the effects of dopamine in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. Dopamine is associated with reward response and positivity. After taking different drugs, the participants participated in a simple economics game in which they were to allocate money between themselves and strangers. The results showed that participants who took the Tokapeng drug were more equitable and equal in their distribution of money than those taking placebo. Through computer model analysis, it was found that under the influence of Tokapeng drugs, participants were more sensitive to the inequalities in the distribution of money in the game.
Previous studies have shown that people's fairness in economic distribution is measured by the prefrontal cortex of the brain, which is affected by dopamine. This study shows how prosocial behavior occurs in the brain. Prior to this study, it was widely believed that ideological fairness was a stable characteristic. This study did not deny this view, but the study also proved how this characteristic is affected by specific neurochemistry in the brain. The effect of the signal. This study is important for people to understand the relationship between psychological behavior and neurochemistry. (Bio Valley Bioon.com)
