The Chemical they are talking about (DARPP-32) is what makes as long lasting as it is in humans and mice. We already have it in our brains and it creates a positive feedback mechanism that keeps the stimulating effects of caffeine going.

The mice without DARPP-32 reacted very minimally to ~6 cups of coffee worth of caffeine.
