Perspective
I'm cautious about assuming this messaging system works the same in humans as in mice. My concern is whether the biological differences could affect its function.
Source summary
A tiny region deep within the brain has surprised scientists by revealing a remarkably sophisticated communication system. Previously thought to broadcast the same chemical signal throughout the brain, this region actually sends targeted messages that help control learning, attention, and behavior, according to new research in mice.
