    Atomic habits

    As Voltaire once wrote
    Voltaire, La Bégueule. Conte Moral (1772).
    long-term potentiation
    : Long-term potentiation was discovered by Terje Lømo in 1966. More precisely, he discovered that when a series of signals was repeatedly transmitted by the
    brain, there was a persistent effect that lasted afterward that made it easier for those signals to be transmitted in the future.
    “Neurons that fire together wire together”
    : Donald O. Hebb, The Organization of Behavior: A Neuropsychological Theory (New York: Wiley, 1949).
    In musicians, the cerebellum
    : S. Hutchinson, “Cerebellar Volume of Musicians,” Cerebral Cortex 13, no. 9 (2003), doi:10.1093/cercor/13.9.943.
    Mathematicians, meanwhile, have increased gray matter
    : A. Verma, “Increased Gray Matter Density in the Parietal Cortex of Mathematicians: A Voxel-Based Morphometry
    Study,” Yearbook of Neurology and Neurosurgery 2008 (2008), doi:10.1016/s0513–5117(08)79083–5.
    When scientists analyzed the brains of taxi drivers in London
    : Eleanor A. Maguire et al., “Navigation-Related Structural Change in the Hippocampi of Taxi Drivers,” Proceedings
    of the National Academy of Sciences 97, no. 8 (2000), doi:10.1073/pnas.070039597; Katherine Woollett and Eleanor A. Maguire, “Acquiring ‘the Knowledge’ of
    London’s Layout Drives Structural Brain Changes,” Current Biology 21, no. 24 (December 2011), doi:10.1016/j.cub.2011.11.018; Eleanor A. Maguire, Katherine
    Woollett, and Hugo J. Spiers, “London Taxi Drivers and Bus Drivers: A Structural MRI and Neuropsychological Analysis,” Hippocampus 16, no. 12 (2006),
    doi:10.1002/hipo.20233.
    “the actions become so automatic”
    : George Henry Lewes, The Physiology of Common Life (Leipzig: Tauchnitz, 1860).
    repetition is a form of change
    : Apparently, Brian Eno says the same thing in his excellent, creatively inspiring Oblique Strategies card set, which I didn’t know when I wrote this
    line! Great minds and all that.
