In this fifth episode of our captivating neuroscience series on building habits for effective learning. We delve into the fascinating process of habit formation within the brain. In this episode, our expert guest Jaan sheds light on how habits initially start as conscious actions controlled by the prefrontal cortex, and then gradually transition to the automatic, unconscious basal ganglia.
Discover the pivotal role of endocannabinoids, neurotransmitters that facilitate this shift by reducing activity in the prefrontal cortex and increasing it in the basal ganglia. Through repetition and the strengthening of neural connections, habits become deeply ingrained. Jaan shares practical insights for applying this knowledge to the real-world challenges of learning at work.
Learn how triggered action plans, rooted in specific events, can empower you to overcome old habits and embrace new behaviours. By harnessing the brain's natural reward system, these action plans provide a tangible sense of accomplishment, igniting a positive feedback loop of success and motivation. This episode unveils the secrets to building effective habits that transform your learning experience.
Don't miss out! Join us in the next episode for more enlightening discoveries.
