What is it?
It's expertise and learning, or it's expertise and wisdom, which are two different things.
But the important thing here is they're big, broad networks, and they're in the prefrontal cortex.
The prefrontal cortex is where it's most vulnerable to cognitive decline.
It's the newest brain structure from an evolutionary perspective, and it's the most vulnerable.
You don't suffer cognitive decline like deep in your brainstem.
Right.
It's impervious.
But the prefrontal cortex is where it shows up.
Expertise and wisdom live in the prefrontal cortex.
And there's these diverse networks, lots of redundancy, lots of backup.
So this goes down.
You got seven other copies over here.
Don't worry about it.
So that's that's where you have to start with lifelong learning.
And.
you want to do everything you can to maximize learning for that very reason so what do we know about learning one of the best ways to maximize learning is authentic learning this is a big movement in education right now but and it's based on a whole bunch of different stuff but let me just talk about one thing um attention you can't learn anything obviously without focus or attention right like paying attention is the gateway for learning
Attention is a coupled system.
It's linked to autonomy.
And autonomy means we like driving the bus.
