I'm going to share a little neuroscience tidbit.

00:04

Love it.

00:04

But I think it's one that you'll appreciate.

00:07

Most people don't know this,

00:09

but there's a brain structure

00:11

called the anterior midcingulate cortex,

00:13

as we pointed out before, that's a noun, it's a name,

00:15

it doesn't mean anything.

00:16

Right. We could call it

00:17

the cookie monster.

00:18

Right.

00:20

But what's interesting about this brain area

00:21

is there's now a lot of data,

00:24

in humans, not some mouse study,

00:27

showing that when people do something they don't want to do,

00:31

like add three hours of exercise per day or per week,

00:36

or when people who are trying to diet and lose weight

00:39

resist eating something.

00:40

Right.

00:42

When people do anything that they,

00:43

and this is the important part,

00:44

that they don't want to do,

00:46

it's not about adding more work,

00:47

it's about adding more work that you don't want to do.

00:50

Yes.

00:51

This brain area gets bigger.

00:52

Yep.

00:53

Now here's what's especially interesting

00:54

about this brain area to me, and by the way,

00:56

I'm only learning this recently

00:58

because it's new data, but there's a lot of it.

01:01

The anterior midcingulate cortex

01:04

is smaller in obese people,

01:08

it gets bigger when they diet.

01:10

It's larger in athletes,

01:13

it's especially large or grows larger

01:16

in people that see themselves

01:19

as challenged and overcome some challenge.

01:21

Right.

01:23

And in people that live a very long time,

01:28

this area keeps its size.

01:31

In many ways, scientists are starting to think

01:33

of the anterior midcingulate cortex

01:35

not just as one of the seats of willpower.

01:38

Right.

01:39

But perhaps actually the seat of the will to live.

01:43

See, now we're talking.

01:45

And when I learned about the anterior midcingulate cortex,

01:47

I was like almost out of my seat.

01:49

And I've been in the neuroscience game since I was 20.

01:51

Now we're talking. And we're the same age.

01:52

And I was so pumped

01:53

'cause I've heard of the amygdala fear, prefrontal cortex,

01:56

it's planning and action.

01:57

I could tell you every brain area and every,

01:59

I teach neuroanatomy to medical students.

02:01

But when I started seeing the data

02:03

on the anterior midcingulate cortex,

02:06

I was like, whoa, this is interesting.

02:10

Yep.

02:11

And all the data points to the fact

02:13

that we can build this area up.

02:15

Yep.

02:16

But that, as quickly as we build it up,
