The dopamine clock: How your brain predicts when you’ll feel good
Deep within the brain, the ventral tegmental area does more than signal when we re rewarded it forecasts exactly when we ll be rewarded. This discovery came from an elegant collaboration between neuroscientists and AI researchers, revealing that VTA neurons not only predict the likelihood of future rewards but also their precise timing.
