This study shows that curiosity increases ERP components associated with reward processing and correlates with better memory recall of trivia answers.

The paper shows that individual differences in functional brain networks determine how curiosity and prediction errors affect memory.

This study shows curiosity traits predict real-life information seeking and mesolimbic dopaminergic connectivity correlates with its frequency.

This study investigates how neural networks like the dopaminergic-hippocampal, FPN, and DMN support curiosity and enhance memory, finding distinct patterns during curiosity elicitation and relief.

The paper investigates how individual differences in epistemic and perceptual curiosity relate to white matter tract microstructure in specific brain networks.

This study shows that theta phase synchronization between the human hippocampus and prefrontal cortex increases during the encoding of unexpected visual stimuli compared to expected ones.

The paper shows that alpha oscillations during semantic processing predict better memory for new semantic information during a subsequent memory test.
