Many other things that are not necessarily crucial to our survival also activate the reward system, like listening to music, taking a warm bath, or looking at a beautiful painting. Then there are substances and behaviors that are actually detrimental to our health and well-being that cause the reward system to kick into high gear—cocaine; heroin; alcohol; gambling; and yes, even caramel fudge brownies, salty pretzels, and chronic overeating.

Let’s take a closer look at the neurotransmitters and brain systems involved in the reward system so you can see how it works and how it gets out of whack.

The strength or weakness of each of these neurotransmitters plays an important role in your ability to stop overeating.
