taking people that have a high working memory capacity and indeed have their brains imaged and one sees that they have high levels of Baseline dopamine especially the dopamine projecting to the prefrontal cortex

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
which by the way turns out to be a pretty good proxy for the levels of a neuromodulator called dopamine within the neural circuits that control working memory
individuals that initially had low Baseline levels of dopamine and therefore shorter working memory span so they only remembered zero to about three of the final words of that six sentence series their performance significantly improved they were able to remember four and in some cases up to six the final words of those sentences
but we had used it to show that it correlates very strongly with your working memory capacity
so if you're you're working Maring capacity is seven letters when or numbers when I say 437 1506 if you 43 get them all back pretty quickly you probably have more dope Baseline dope mean than than someone who has five they're so it's it's a proxy for measuring someone's open
if um people who have low levels of dopamine um increase their dopamine um pharmacologically I think the drug that was used was bromocryptine um that working memory improves
