I’ve heard people say it is because of a brain signal but I’m not sure.

I’ve never heard of salt triggering any sort of endorphin release in the brain. In fact, too much salt is often a negative experience.
Dip your finger in sugar and then lick it off, it’s peasant, it makes you happy. With salt, it makes you wince and reach for a drink to cleanse your palate.
Sugar literally triggers the brains to release chemical messengers that makes you feel better. That feeling is what leads to addiction. You always want to feel that way, and you know that eating sugar will make you feel that way, so you eat more sugar.
Salt simply doesn’t work like that. It’s not a thing.
