  • Summary

    The thinking and emotional brains work together to help lawyers develop expertise in a process called memory consolidation. Information enters the thinking brain through the senses, such as the eyes and ears, and travels to the memory-processing hippocampus. Newer memories are remembered from the network of brain cells that loop between the thinking brain and the hippocampus in the emotional brain. Stable memory, a lawyer’s hard-earned expertise, is recalled from the connectome, which is the unique architecture of neurons in the lawyer’s thinking brain.
