We haven't got the science behind that.

What we do have is that if you don't use it, through the huge stock taking change in adolescence, there's a lot that does naturally go.

So it's possible that if we haven't built it up enough, like if you see someone who's done a musical instrument or done some sort of exercise early, they usually don't have to keep doing it majorly.

They can pick it up later.

But if you haven't done that and you don't use it during adolescence, and we can't say for sure,

But there's absolutely that potential there, yeah.

And there's lots of different sorts of dopamine, but the one that we're talking about here is the one that goes, oh, that was fun.

Let's do it again.

And so that can almost double.

The sensitivity can almost double.
