Dopamine ni igikoresho gitangaje cy’ubwonko gifite uruhare runini mu bigo by’ubwonko bitanga ibihembo n’ibinezeza. Akenshi cyitwa "chemical-compimie", kigira uruhare mu mikorere itandukanye y’umubiri n’iy’imitekerereze igira ingaruka ku byiyumvo byacu muri rusange, ku mbaraga zacu, ndetse no ku myitwarire yacu yo kwishora mu bintu bibi.
Dopamine, ikunze kwitwa neurotransmitter "ituma umuntu yumva ameze neza", yavumbuwe bwa mbere mu myaka ya 1950 n'umuhanga mu bya siyansi w'Umusuwede Arvid Carlsson. Ishyirwa mu cyiciro cya neurotransmitter ya monoamine, bivuze ko ari ubutumwa bw'ibinyabutabire butwara ibimenyetso hagati y'uturemangingo tw'imitsi. Dopamine ikorerwa mu bice bitandukanye by'ubwonko, harimo substantia nigra, ventral tegmental area, na hypothalamus y'ubwonko.
Akamaro nyamukuru ka dopamine ni ugutanga ibimenyetso hagati y’imitsi no kugira ingaruka ku mikorere itandukanye y’umubiri. Bikekwa ko igenzura ingendo, uburyo amarangamutima asubiza, imbaraga, n’ibyiyumvo by’ibyishimo n’ibihembo. Dopamine kandi igira uruhare runini mu mikorere itandukanye y’ubwonko nko kwiga, kwibuka no kwita ku bintu.
Iyo dopamine irekuwe mu bwonko, itera ibyishimo cyangwa kunyurwa.
Mu bihe byo kwishima no guhembwa, dukora dopamine nyinshi, kandi iyo urugero ruri hasi cyane, twumva nta mbaraga dufite kandi nta cyo twitayeho.
Byongeye kandi, uburyo bwo gutanga ibihembo mu bwonko bufitanye isano rya bugufi na dopamine. Uruhare rw'imiti itera indwara zo mu bwonko ni uguteza imbere ibyiyumvo byo kwishima no gukomeza, bityo bikaduha imbaraga. Bidusunika kugera ku ntego zacu no gushaka ibihembo.
Dopamine ikorerwa mu bice byinshi by'ubwonko, harimo n'agace ka substantia nigra n'agace ka ventral tegmental. Utu duce dukora nk'inganda za dopamine, dukora kandi tugasohora iyi neurotransmitter mu bice bitandukanye by'ubwonko. Iyo dopamine imaze kurekurwa, ifatana na receptors runaka (zitwa dopamine receptors) ziherereye ku buso bw'akaremangingo kakira.
Hari ubwoko butanu bwa receptors za dopamine, zanditsweho D1 na D5. Buri bwoko bwa receptors buba mu gace k'ubwonko gatandukanye, bigatuma dopamine igira ingaruka zitandukanye. Iyo dopamine ifatanye na receptors, itera imbaraga cyangwa ikabuza imikorere y'uturemangingo twakira, bitewe n'ubwoko bwa receptors zifatanye.
Dopamine igira uruhare runini mu kugenzura ingendo mu nzira ya nigrostriatal. Muri iyi nzira, dopamine ifasha kugenzura no guhuza imikorere y'imitsi.
Muri cortex y’imbere, dopamine ifasha mu kugenzura kwibuka gukora, ikadufasha kubika no gukoresha amakuru mu bwenge bwacu. Igira kandi uruhare mu buryo bwo kwita ku bintu no gufata ibyemezo. Kutagera ku rugero rwa dopamine muri cortex y’imbere byagiye bifitanye isano n’indwara nka ADHD na schizophrenia.
Irekurwa n'igenzurwa rya dopamine rigenzurwa cyane n'ubwonko kugira ngo rikomeze kuringaniza no kwemeza imikorere isanzwe. Sisitemu igoye y'uburyo bwo gusubiza ibitekerezo, igizwe n'izindi neurotransmitters n'uturere tw'ubwonko, igenzura urugero rwa dopamine.
Dopamine ni igikoresho cy’ubumara mu bwonko gitwara ibimenyetso hagati y’uturemangingo tw’imitsi. Gifite uruhare runini mu mikorere itandukanye y’ubwonko, harimo no kugenzura ingendo, amarangamutima, n’uburyo amarangamutima akorwamo, bigatuma kiba ingenzi mu buzima bwacu bwo mu mutwe. Ariko, kutagera ku rugero rwa dopamine bishobora gutera ibibazo bitandukanye by’ubuzima bwo mu mutwe.
●Ubushakashatsi bwerekana ko abantu bafite ikibazo cyo kwiheba bashobora kugira urugero rwa dopamine ruke mu bice bimwe na bimwe by'ubwonko, bigatuma badashishikarira gukora imirimo ya buri munsi.
●Kudakora neza kwa dopamine bishobora gutera indwara zo guhangayika. Kwiyongera kwa dopamine mu bice bimwe na bimwe by'ubwonko bishobora gutera guhangayika no kubura amahoro.
●Gukora cyane kwa dopamine mu bice bimwe na bimwe by'ubwonko bivugwa ko bigira uruhare mu kugaragaza ibimenyetso bya schizophrenia, nko kubona ibintu mu buryo butunguranye no kwibeshya.
●Ibiyobyabwenge n'imyitwarire yo kuba imbata akenshi byongera urugero rwa dopamine mu bwonko, bigatera ibyishimo n'ibyishimo. Uko igihe kigenda gihita, ubwonko butangira kwishingikiriza kuri ibi bintu cyangwa imyitwarire kugira ngo burekure dopamine, bigatuma habaho urujya n'uruza rw'ubusinzi.
Q: Ese imiti ishobora gukoreshwa mu kugabanya urugero rwa dopamine?
A: Yego, imiti imwe n'imwe, nka dopamine agonists cyangwa dopamine reuptake inhibitors, ikoreshwa mu kuvura indwara zijyanye no kudakora neza kwa dopamine. Iyi miti ishobora gufasha kugarura dopamine mu bwonko no kugabanya ibimenyetso bijyana n'indwara nka Parkinson's disease cyangwa depression.
Q: Ni gute umuntu yakomeza kugira dopamine ihagije?
A: Gukomeza ubuzima bwiza, harimo gukora imyitozo ngororamubiri ihoraho, indyo yuzuye, gusinzira bihagije, no gucunga imihangayiko, bishobora gufasha mu kugenzura neza dopamine. Gukora ibikorwa bishimishije, gushyiraho intego zishobora kugerwaho, no kwitoza kwitonda nabyo bishobora gufasha mu kubungabunga dopamine ihagije.
Icyitonderwa: Iyi nkuru ni iy'amakuru gusa kandi ntigomba gufatwa nk'inama z'abaganga. Buri gihe banza uganire n'inzobere mu by'ubuzima mbere yo gukoresha inyongeramusaruro cyangwa guhindura uburyo bwo kwivuza.
