Neuroscience of Movement
Wednesday, 25 February, 2026
We’ve engineered a life that minimizes effort. Food arrives. Work happens from chairs. Entertainment comes to us. But the brain didn’t evolve for efficiency — it evolved for interaction. This episode looks at the neuroscience behind movement and why it may be more foundational to how we think and feel than we realize.Due to technical difficulties, this episode is audio-only. We hope to resume video next episode, but we’ll keep you posted.>> Support the Brain Blown on Patreon>> Have questions, stories, or topics you want us to cover?
