The neuron that plays a key role in feelings of joy and pleasure is the dopaminergic neuron, particularly those in the mesolimbic pathway. These neurons release dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with reward and motivation, which can lead to feelings of happiness and euphoria. When we experience something joyful, such as achieving a goal or receiving good news, these neurons activate, contributing to the physical reaction of jumping for joy.
