Time Perception Insights

Elevated dopamine levels lead to a fascinating phenomenon where individuals overestimate the passage of time, often perceiving a minute to have elapsed in just 38 seconds. This effect is mirrored by norepinephrine, which, along with dopamine, enhances the brain's ability to finely slice time, akin to increasing a film's frame rate. The interplay between these neurotransmitters reshapes our temporal perception, revealing the intricate relationship between chemistry and experience.
