  6. 🍬🐁 🧠 New paper by Gong et al: Larger rewards can make #mice learn much faster than standard low-reward protocols suggest.

    Across navigation, motor-skill & #DecisionMaking tasks, reward magnitude improved #learning efficiency by increasing learning rate, sustaining task engagement & helping carry improvements across sessions. Larger rewards also produced stronger, longer striatal #dopamine responses, & #optogenetic DA boosting reproduced part of the effect.

    The answer was always right here, laying on right on the surface. It was nessesary just to concentrate a little.
    Dopamine. An important thing, that our brains produce in response to pleasant experiences and which then affects a number of cognitive processes.

    Variable Reward Schedules (The Slot Machine Effect): Notification delivery and feed layouts are mathematically optimized to be unpredictable. Because the brain releases more dopamine in anticipation of an unpredictable reward than a predictable one, users are structurally conditioned to keep checking the app.
