:21:53. > :21:55.injured and freezing cold. In the grim night of horror and loss
:21:56. > :22:02.that followed, 193 people died. All the lights went out,

:22:27. > :22:28.didn't make it. And the reason I'm talking

:22:35. > :22:48.of the Herald's loss is its capacity to fill a church

:23:57. > :24:00.three British-based neuroscientists for their work on how the brain uses
:24:01. > :24:03.a system of chemical rewards They've been speaking to our Medical
:24:04. > :24:07.Correspondent, Fergus Walsh. How do we motivate
:24:08. > :24:10.ourselves in life? Whether it's the choices we make
:24:11. > :24:13.about the food we eat - cream cake or fruit -
:24:14. > :24:17.to the friends we make. The pleasure of a hug, or the goals
:24:18. > :24:25.we set ourselves at work to succeed, What underpins our decision-making
:24:26. > :24:34.is a chemical in the brain called dopamine, which is released whenever
:24:35. > :24:38.there is a reward. This sense of reward,
:24:39. > :24:39.which can sometimes be equated with happiness,
:24:40. > :24:41.pleasure, or simply a desire to do something, has been
:24:42. > :24:51.crucial in human evolution. The three neuroscientists
:24:52. > :24:53.who share the prize, given by the Lundbeck Foundation
:24:54. > :24:56.in Denmark, have spent 30 years studying the dopamine reward
:24:57. > :24:58.pathway, and say it underpins If you look at a menu
:24:59. > :25:04.in a new restaurant, you have an interesting thing -
:25:05. > :25:07.should you explore a new type of cuisine that
:25:08. > :25:09.you haven't tried before? So, you make a prediction
:25:10. > :25:11.of what it might be like, and then you say, "well,
:25:12. > :25:13.maybe I'll try it". If you try it and it's
:25:14. > :25:16.better than you expect, Next time you come back to that
:25:17. > :25:20.restaurant, you have a higher chance of choosing that food
:25:21. > :25:22.that you liked. If it's worse than you expected,
:25:23. > :25:24.then you won't choose it. There is a dark side
:25:25. > :25:27.to the dopamine reward pathway. It can reinforce poor
:25:28. > :25:28.decision-making, such as with drug addiction,
:25:29. > :25:30.and lead to compulsive behaviour. Parkinson's disease

:25:39. > :25:47.effects, leading to excess gambling. I had numerous patients who,
:25:48. > :25:50.when treated with these drugs, have resorted to gambling,
:25:51. > :25:52.often secretive, and this has resulted in the tragedy of them
