Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Endorphins are chemicals in the brain that are responsible for reducing pain and providing a sense of pleasure or euphoria. They help to block the transmission of pain signals and can be released during exercise, stress, and other activities. While they are similar in function to enkaphalins, they are not necessarily less powerful. Endorphins are a type of neurotransmitter, so they are not radically different in function from other chemicals that transmit signals in the brain.
