Neural Mechanisms of Habits

"Habits: it's hard to get the good ones, and hard to break the bad ones," according to Dr. Ann Graybiel of MIT. Hard to argue with that. Neural Mechanisms of Habit Formation is an accessible video lecture of Graybiel and others work in habits and the brain. Lots of implications and explanations of movement-related issues here.

Graybiel spoke at a regular series of lectures at the National Institute of Health in Washington, DC. Video archives of other lectures are available, as is a schedure of upcoming video events.
