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.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Read‘Caffeine: Cognitive and Physical Performance Enhancer or Psychoactive Drug?’ from Current Neuropharmacology
Read ‘Neuroprotective Effects of Coffee Bioactive Compounds: A Review’ from International Journal of Molecular Sciences’
