Do muscles really have memory? How does your brain tell which muscles to move and how hard they should work? Is it possible to learn how to shoot a basketball like Steph Curry? Dr. John Krakauer is a professor of Neurology who runs the Center for Motor Learning and Brain Repair at Johns Hopkins University (he's a smart dude who knows why and how we move). Dr. Krakauer is an expert in the field of neurophysiology which is the science of how our brain controls our movements. On this episode, originally recorded in 2019, Dr. Krakauer discusses how your brain learns movement patterns, what that means for your workout routines and whether or not it really is possible to teach an old human new tricks.
