The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
One thing that's not often discussed about dopamine, but is extremely important to know is that dopamine doesn't work on its own. Neurons that release dopamine co-release glutamate. Glutamate is a neurotransmitter and it's a neurotransmitter that is excitatory, meaning it stimulates neurons to be electrically active.

Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

those excitatory neurons meaning neurons that when they are activated electrically they activate or excite other neurons at least they try to they release neurotransmitter into the synapse which is the little gap between neurons the neurons on the other side have receptors they bind those neurotransmitters in this case glutamate which is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain and then there's a high probability that those other neurons will be excited that they will be electrically active
