These dopamine serotonin earring hoops put the pair on each ear in 18K gold vermeil, for a psychiatrist, a psychology graduate or a friend who reads everything about the brain.

In nerve cells that signal with noradrenaline, an enzyme adds one oxygen atom to dopamine and turns it into noradrenaline. In the adrenal glands, one more step turns noradrenaline into adrenaline, the hormone behind a racing heart after a fright. Serotonin has a night job. In the pineal gland, a small gland deep in the brain, it is converted into melatonin, the hormone that tells the body it is night. The enzyme that starts this conversion becomes far more active in the dark and shuts down quickly in light, so melatonin peaks in the early hours of the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:2em;\"\u003eExplore Related Molecules Jewelry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/dopamine-serotonin-earring-hoops\"\u003edopamine serotonin earring hoops | silver\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/dopamine-serotonin-interlocked-18k-gold-plated\"\u003edopamine serotonin necklace H | gold vermeil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/dopamine-serotonin-earrings-gold-vermeil\"\u003edopamine serotonin earrings | gold vermeil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/dopamine-studs-gold-vermeil\"\u003edopamine studs | gold vermeil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:2em;\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.75em;\"\u003eHow big are they, and how do they fasten?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach earring measures 26 mm (about 1 inch), not counting the post. That is about the width of a 2-euro coin, or a little more than a US quarter, so they are easy to read from across a table. They fasten with gold vermeil posts and ear nuts at the back. 18K gold vermeil means 2.5 microns of 18K gold over solid sterling silver, nickel-free and hypoallergenic. To keep the gold bright, wipe them with a soft cloth and store them dry in their box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.75em;\"\u003eIs there a silver pair, or a matching necklace?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The dopamine serotonin earring hoops also come in sterling silver, at the same 26 mm. Choose the finish she already wears: the design is the same in both. For a set, the dopamine serotonin necklace links the two molecules in a 40 mm pendant, in gold vermeil, sterling silver or two-tone. For a smaller pair, the dopamine serotonin earrings put 15 mm molecules on thin hoops, in both finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.75em;\"\u003eIs delivery free, and what if they aren't right?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. DHL Express delivers free in 1-5 business days worldwide, and we pay the import duties and taxes, so nothing is due at the door. They arrive in a ready-to-gift jewelry box and festive envelope. If they aren't right, our 30-day “Love It or Return It” policy applies to unworn earrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.75em;\"\u003eWhat did dopamine have to do with Awakenings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1969 the neurologist Oliver Sacks gave L-DOPA, which the brain turns into dopamine, to patients at Beth Abraham Hospital in the Bronx. They had survived the sleeping sickness epidemic of the 1920s, and many had sat almost motionless for decades. Within weeks, some walked, talked and laughed again. The effects were often dramatic but temporary, and many patients later struggled with tics and sudden swings. Sacks told their story in his 1973 book Awakenings, filmed in 1990 with Robin Williams and Robert De Niro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n","brand":"sciencejewelry1824","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56991644418434,"sku":"ER0062-GV","price":240.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1411\/4806\/files\/dopamine-serotonin-earring-hoops-gold-vermeil.png?v=1792590957","url":"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/dopamine-serotonin-earring-hoops-gold-vermeil","provider":"sciencejewelry1824","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
