Dopamine is a chemical in our body that sends signals(信号) in the brain. It has many important roles: affecting memory, attention and how we learn. Our brains work best when there is a balance of dopamine-not too much or too little.Our brains control dopamine in two ways. It either takes out dopamine quickly, or gradually(逐渐). Exam success can be linked(链接) to how fast dopamine goes back to an even balance, according to new research from the University of Missouri, reported Yahoo.Scientists found that, during a test, if people got back slowly to an even balance of dopamine, they would score 8 percent lower.

But for some time there have been concerns (担心) that the older people are being left behind because they are unable to use a computer. However, this is changing and several charities and community groups now help older people to get online. Paul Robinson runs such charity, Seniors Online. Paul worked for an IT company before deciding to leave his well-paid job and start the charity. As he explains, I used to spend a few hours a week helping some older people use the Internet at the local library and I could see the difference it made to their lives. It can be quite lonely for the elderly when their children move away to find work and start a family of their own. Learning how to use email and receive photographs of their children and grandchildren was a wonderful experience for them. And when I saw what a big influence it had on their lives, I left my job and set up Seniors Online. We run training courses so that older people can enjoy the same chances as us. away to find work and start a family of their own.
