The brain’s “feel good” chemical

How does one unlock this feature?

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Sex and masturbation.

Drugs, and sugar.

Exercise.

Music.

Puppies.

Laughing.

That should get you started.

Does this mean I can get rid of my tinnitus???

Not yet, unfortunately... But knowing more about what might be happening in the brain to cause it increases the probability that a cure will be found.
