Addiction is a form of memory: Neuroscientist Nikolay Kukushkin

Nikolay Kukushkin, neuroscientist at New York University, said on the podcast that addiction, whether to drugs or social media, is a memory we've decided is bad for us. Quitting social media is hard for a few days, he said. But dopamine system recalibrates in days to a couple of weeks, and you get most of the way back, he added.
