Memories are not only in the brain, new research finds. Learning and memory are generally associated with brains and brain cells alone, but this study shows that other cells in the body can learn and form memories, too.

New research shows dopamine shapes both fast, effortful learning via working memory 🧠 and slower, habit-based trial-and-error learning. It not only reinforces rewards 🎉 but also modulates memory, motivation 💪, forgetting, and learning rates 📈—making it a key regulator of diverse learning systems.

Striatal dopamine can enhance both fast working memory, and slow reinforcement learning, while reducing implicit effort cost sensitivity
Nature Communications - Striatal dopamine signaling accelerates reinforcement learning while also boosting reliance on working memory and making working memory less effortful as revealed in this...
Neuroscientists shed light on the illusion of learning from short videos. Watching rapid, fragmented clips captures sensory attention but impairs the deep cognitive processing required to pack away long-term memories compared to viewing a slightly longer, continuous video.

Neuroscientists shed light on the illusion of learning from short videos
A new study reveals that consuming fragmented, fast-paced media on social platforms hinders the brain’s ability to form long-term memories. While the format grabs sensory attention, it disrupts the neural networks required to absorb facts effectively.
