[[Image:440px-Dopamine2.svg.png|thumb|right|250px| Schematic of the dopamine molecule]]
'''Dopamine''' is a chemical produced by the human body that acts as a [[neurotransmitter]] in the brain. Its chemical formula is (C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>(OH)<sub>2</sub>-CH<sub>2</sub>-CH<sub>2</sub>-NH<sub>2</sub>) and its chemical name is ''4-(2-aminoethyl)benzene-1,2-diol''. Dopamine is abbreviated as DA. The brain contains five types of receptors to which dopamine binds (D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5).
