  • Here is the original research article
    
    
    
    • People are better at learning information that they are curious about
    • Memory for incidental material presented during curious states was also enhanced
    • Curiosity associated with anticipatory activity in nucleus accumbens and midbrain
    • Memory benefits for incidental material depend on midbrain-hippocampus involvement
