Dopamine is not a reward chemical it’s a motivation or anticipation of reward chemical.

The various endogenous opioids are the reward chemicals.

You can’t get dopamine from those activities but rather, those activities are got by dopamine.

This mistake has persisted for over 20+ years and I predict the term dopamine will somehow morph into a figurative term rather a technical one because of its unending misuse.
