Strengthening Your AMCC with Micro Sucks
Engaging in tasks that require willpower activates the anterior mid-sigulate cortex (AMCC) in the brain. Dr. Andrew Huberman discusses how performing 'micro sucks,' small challenging tasks like washing dishes or cleaning the toilet, can strengthen the AMCC over time. This brain region is crucial for cognitive function and is associated with super-agers who maintain healthy brain functions into old age. By pushing oneself to do tasks that are disliked or challenging, individuals can improve brain health and cognitive abilities.
