• Caffeine connects to adenosine receptors in the brain, which are receptors associated with feelings of fatigue and sleep, and this connection prevents feelings of fatigue.
• Also, the binding of caffeine to adenosine receptors leads to an increase in the secretion of dopamine , which is a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, and motivation. This also helps dopamine perform its functions more effectively.
