Neural Circuits Explained
The brain's basal ganglia play a crucial role in initiating and preventing actions, functioning through distinct "go" and "no-go" circuits. Additionally, the lateral prefrontal cortex aids in planning across different timescales, while the orbitofrontal cortex connects emotional states to goal progression. Remarkably, the same neural circuits are engaged regardless of the nature of the goal, whether it’s a major life ambition or a simple daily decision.In this clip
