ELI5: What causes a song to be stuck in ones head?
gpt
Ooh...I kinda know this one! Read a study that neurons in your memory cortex are firing when they hear a song. Basically, your mind is trying to connect the memory from beginning to the end of the song, so it keeps repeating it over and over, trying to find the end. Theory is, if you listen to the song stuck in your head to the end, the "loop" is completed, and your brain will move on.
