| Description | The teaching is about creating the right neurochemical cocktail, then dopamine is the tequila in the twenty-first-century teacher's margarita. People know the brain 'works' by sending signals between brain cells. To do this the brain employs neurotransmitters that relay, amplify and modulate signals between a neuron and another cell. There are a range of such neurotransmitters such as noradrenaline and epinephrine which are linked to stress and 'fight or flight' response, melatonin which promotes sleepiness and is known as the 'hormone of darkness' and serotonin which regulates mood among other things and is a key element in our fight against depression. Dopamine as it is known to people in the know, is a naturally occurring chemical in the brain that has an important role in our thinking, movement, motivation, reward, sleep, mood attention, physical growth, sexual development and learning. Dopamine can be, then, the teacher's friend or the teacher's foe.The teaching is about creating the right neurochemical cocktail, then dopamine is the tequila in the twenty-first-century teacher's margarita.
