- 7. SCIENCE BEHIND INTROVERSION One major difference between the brains of introverts and extroverts is the way they respond to the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical released in the brain that provides the motivation to seek rewards. When dopamine floods the brain, both introverts and extroverts become more talkative and alert to their surroundings. But dopamine is more active in the brains of extroverts than in the brains of introverts. Introverts use a different neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. Acetylcholine makes us feel good when we turn inwards.

They can communicate with others, but feel better at home in their shell with people they know and feel safe with. The introvert’s way: Living a quiet life in a noisy world.
