How Habits Shape the Brain: Aristotle Meets Neuroscience - Dr Sandeep Kaur - Gautam Kapil

Aristotle never saw a synapse. He had no way to measure electrical activity in a neuron or scan a living brain. And yet, more than two thousand years before the invention of the MRI, he wrote a line that modern neuroscience has spent the last few decades quietly proving correct: we are what we repeatedly do. On a recent episode of Radio Haanji’s Deep Talk Show, host Gautam Kapil sat down with neuroscience expert Dr. Sandeep Kaur to unpack exactly how that ancient claim holds up against what we now know about brain anatomy, neuroplasticity, and the biology of habit.
