dopamine

dopamine
(n.f.)
Substance de l'organisme qui agit sur celui-ci comme un véritable booster, lui fournissant adrénaline et nonadrénaline en quantité suffisante pour maintenir un état euphorique chez l'individu. La dopamine est en général sécrétée abondamment pendant les premiers mois d'une relation amoureuse, ce qui pousse les partenaires à un désir quasiment impossible à assouvir durant cette période.
