“ Caffeine consumption during adolescence reduced basal dopamine levels and augmented dopamine release in the NAc in response to cocaine (5 mg/kg, i.p.).”
“We show that pharmacological antagonism of dopamine not only blocks conditioned place aversion to caffeine , but also reveals dopamine blockade‐induced conditioned place preferences.”

“In nonhumans, caffeine enhances the effects of dopamine , which might be expected to worsen positive symptoms and improve negative symptoms of schizophrenia and worsen tardive dyskinesia.”
“Pharmacogenetic studies in humans demonstrate that functional polymorphisms of the genes encoding adenosine A2A receptors and dopamine transporters contribute to individual differences in impaired sleep quality by caffeine.”
