The news article "How dopamine affects your willingness to work"summarizes research reported in The Journal of Neuroscience examining how dopamine affects behavior in different areas of the brain.

For this assignment, you should write a one page essay (500 - 700 words) addressing the following points:

• The effects of high and low levels of dopamine on behavior.

• The relationship described in the article between high levels of dopamine and motivation to work?

• Why the researchers considered this relationship to be surprising.

• If high levels of dopamine are usually "rewarding," do your best to explain to me how high dopamine levels in brain areas that play a role in emotion and risk perception could cause people to be less willing to work hard for a reward.

• (What you explain to me should reflect your best guess about that relationship based on what was said in the article, what you know about dopamine and (potentially) what you were able to find online about it)
