Dopamine and other neuromodulators stabilize brain states necessary for thought dwell time and sequence.

“it's very clear dopamine and the other neurom modulators are involved in um stabilizing and sustaining brain states. Okay, that's why they're thought to be involved in seizures, right? One thing you have to do with the brain state is kind of hold on to it a bit. It's got to have a dwell time, right? Let's call that a thought. Boom. Okay. Uh and then it it goes forward or changes and then it may come back to that. Okay? So thinking and sequencing through what you would call thoughts is something that these systems are clearly intimately related to.”
