Huperzine A

Huperzine A is a compound that has gained popularity as a nootropic for its ability to increase dopamine levels in key brain areas like the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, which are associated with learning, memory, and decision-making. It works by increasing acetylcholine transmission, which in turn affects dopamine due to interactions between the cholinergic and dopaminergic systems. Despite its potential benefits, Andrew Huberman advises against using Huperzine A without proper understanding of its functions and emphasizes the importance of seeking information from reliable sources before trying such compounds 1.
