food that makes my brain practically dance while i'm eating it. turns out it's no coincidence i say that. once you learn the real story you'll agree with me, folks. let me explain the neurological festival going on in the background, in my own way, here you go:
the fish and soy sauce in sushi are packed to the brim with glutamate (a kind of natural msg). the second this stuff binds to your taste receptors, a signal goes to the brain saying "an excellent source of protein and amino acids." to reward this evolutionary success, the brain releases dopamine (the pleasure/reward hormone) from the ventral tegmental area.
