Hence there is a high from learning, getting paid... and, um, Ill pass on the candy, but some extra portions of avocado or grilled meats would be great. [“There’s this basic circuit in the brain that energizes people to go out and get things that are intrinsically rewarding,” Ranganath explains. This circuit lights up when we get money, or candy. It also lights up when we’re curious. When the circuit is activated, our brains release a chemical called dopamine which gives us a high. “The dopamine also seems to play a role in enhancing the connections between cells that are involved in learning.” Indeed, when the researchers later tested participants on what they learned, those who were more curious were more likely to remember the right answers.] Curiosity helped the cat get good grades. ^_^ #smartkitty
