Brain breakthrough: Dopamine doesn't work at all like we thought it did

As stated in the other post, this article mischaracterizes the findings. No one thought dopamine flooded the brain. This finding is important because it's the first time we've been able to visually see the behavior we thought was happening.

Hell, mine hasn't worked like it's "supposed to" for, like, ever, AFAIK. So, eh. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The only thing surprising here is that people thought it worked any other way to begin with. Given that it's a reinforcement mechanism then it makes sense that it would be both spatially and temporally discrete.
