Neuroscience and Habit Formation
Neuroscience explains habit formation as a result of the brain's ability to create neural pathways through repeated behaviors. When a habit is formed, the brain becomes more efficient at performing the associated actions, leading to automaticity.
Neuroplasticity and Habit Change
Neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize itself, plays a crucial role in habit change. By consciously engaging in new behaviors, individuals can create new neural pathways and weaken existing ones, leading to the modification or replacement of old habits with new ones.
