Dopamine molecule. Computer artwork of a molecule of the neurotransmitter and neurohormone dopamine (C8.H11.N.O2). The atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (black),hydrogen (white),oxygen (red) and nitrogen (blue). Dopamine is one of the most important of the neurotransmitters in the central nervous system (CNS). It plays a critical role in the way the brain controls movement,memory and decision making. Underproduction of dopamine results in the movement disorder Parkinson's disease. Excess dopamine may contribute to psychotic illnesses,notably schizophrenia.
