Most substances that are considered addictive have the ability to stimulate our natural systems of reward, thereby producing a spike in <u>dopamine</u> in the <u>Mesolimbocortical pathway</u>.

It is well established that the mesolimbic pathway's dopamine plays a significant part in the pleasurable effects of both food and illicit drug usage. DA-containing neurons in the ventral tegmental region, which project to the nucleus accumbent, are stimulated by pleasant meals and addictive substances (NAc).

A dopaminergic pathway in the brain, the mesolimbic pathway is also referred to as the reward pathway. The pathway links the ventral striatum of the basal ganglia in the forebrain to the ventral tegmental region in the midbrain. The olfactory tubercle and nucleus accumbent are parts of the ventral striatum.

Which statement best describes the network of transportation options in modern-day Europe
PtichkaEL [24]

Road, rail, water and air transportation are very important in across Europe and these ways are providing service to 700 million people. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution the world started to change drastically, but Europe as the predecessor is until now the leader continent on this topic.


It is important to mention that Europe has the system of trains wich connects all the territory, something that is missing in America, Africa, Middle East and Asia. Except from Japan, they have the fastest bullet trains that connect all the country, maybe this is the only service missing in Eupore to make greater.


Furthermore, some organizations as the European Union and council of Europe develop standards that allow people to cross bordes all over it with unique levels of freedom.


In a statement I describe it: European network of transportation is revolutionary and futuristic; because it is improving its methods to make it faster, cheaper, ecological and more important, it's giving to the world the idea to remove restrictions and borders in order to unify the world as one nation.
