The Four Happiness Neurotransmitters and Your Brain. Mesolimbic dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways. If your high in Seritonin, youâre positive, confident, flexible, and easy going. If youâre sinking in Seritonin, youâll tend to become negative, obsessive, worried irritable, ad sleepless. If youâre high in Catecholamines (norepinephrin, dopamine, and adrenalin are in this group), youâre energized, upbeat, and alert. If your Catecholamines have crashed, you can sink into a flat, lethargic funk.
Stress causes the release of a hormone called cortisol. Giving rats daily injections of corticosterone (rat cortisol) for several weeks kills certain brain cells. Stressing the rats each day for the same amount of time has an identical effect. Cortisol has been shown to damage and kill cells in the hippocampus (the brain area responsible for your episodic memory) and there is robust evidence that chronic stress causes premature brain aging.
