We now know that the arousal center, the reward center, the switching of attention center and the executive centers of the brain are all connected. This is true. They are all part of the syndrome that deals with our attention network in our brain. And the major neurotransmitter connecting all these disorders is dopamine. Exercise is yet another way that we can affect the level and functioning of the neuro-transmitter in the brain.
Exercise acutely causes the release of both dopamine and serotonin.
Chronic aerobic exercise leads to an increase in the enzymes that make dopamine, so exercise is not just a body issue. It's a brain trainer. This is again caused by problems with the attention network and the dopamine system. Tell us what that is about. The book has received a lot of media attention because it challenges previous diagnostic notions.
