Its roots lie in an idea known as an "artificial neural network" from the 1940s.

A neural network is a bit like a team of interconnected workers that learn to solve problems.

How do I do this correctly? What is the series of neural pathways I have to activate, in which order, following what pattern, to do the skill properly?

My System For Learning Any Skill Without Wasting Time

So, every time your prefrontal cortex challenges that old habit that's no longer serving you, it enters into destabilization, which gives you the opportunity to rewrite that neural pathway with the new skill or the new habit that you want to develop.

Now, as is typical for this podcast, I want to focus on some of the neural mechanisms and chemical systems in the brain and body that generate obsessive-compulsive disorder.

So, let's take a step back and look at the neural circuitry.

And when I say lights up, what sorts of brain regions are more metabolically active, more blood flow, more neural activity?

This sequence creates a kind of neural coupling.

Lotto points out that for each neural connection that projects information from the eyes to the primary visual fields in the occipital lobes at the back of the brain, there are 10 connections back from the brain to the eyes, which means more input is coming from the brain to the eyes. -That is fascinating. -than is coming from the eyes into the brain.

Therefore, he says, "There are moreover, the neural networks that make sense of what we 'see', are fed by a relatively small stream of information from the eyes."

Neuroplasticity is this incredible feature of your nervous system, which of course includes your brain and your spinal cord, which is the ability for your nervous system to change in response to experience. So any form of learning involves neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity—we sometimes hear as neural plasticity, two words, or neuroplasticity—those are the same thing.

You know, despite the poor table manners of some adolescents and teens and some adults for that matter, they are still exhibiting far more precise motor movements than they did as an infant, of course. And believe it or not, the improvement in motor coordination that one observes in humans and other species for that matter from birth until the adolescence and teen years and adult years is largely the reflection of the removal—that's right, the removal—of neural connections as opposed to the formation of neural connections.

However, the neural connections that remain become much more robust; they become much more reliable. Okay, so that's the mechanistic backdrop for everything that we're going to talk about today, which is how to study and learn. And as I mentioned earlier in my introduction, most of learning and remembering new material is about offsetting the forgetting process that naturally occurs anytime we hear new information.

06:28 So the key here is that 06:30 in order to understand the brain, how it 06:33 functions, and how it malfunctions, you 06:37 need to pay attention to the properties 06:40 of individual neurons: the electrical, 06:42 the biochemical, and molecular properties 06:45 of individual neurons, as well as, the ways 06:47 in which neurons are connected to each 06:49 other to form neural circuits.

And that's 06:52 really good. Its gonna be the focus of this 06:54 course, and the focus of this first 06:57 lecture where I'm going to give you an 06:58 introduction to the basic properties of 07:01 nerve cells and the basic properties of 07:03 neural circuits.
