Apologies if you already know this, but dopamine has definitely been linked to attention difficulties as well (ADHD being the best studied of these).

Yeah the problem is "dopamine" means many things in the brain. You can have too much one place and too little in another. Or you could have too much along with a declining population of dopamine neurons in certain areas. I'm type II bipolar which is theorized to be an issue with dopamine regulation and also suffer from essential tremor and spasmodic torticollis. So in my case I probably have issues in several areas.
