The Scone Made Me Do It - How One Tiny Thought Triggers Big Memories (Fun Brain Science Explained)

Have you ever had a smell, song, or taste instantly transport you back in time?

🍿🎢πŸͺ In this episode, Rozanne shares how one thought of a scone set off a memory avalanche β€” from Swiss Days to reconnecting with an old friend β€” and how brain science explains it. This is called spreading activation, and it’s the secret behind why popcorn = movies, cookies = grandma’s house, and one song = your entire high school dance.

You’ll learn:

βœ… Why smells and tastes are the strongest memory triggers (hippocampus + amygdala explained)

βœ… How spreading activation shapes your daily habits, moods, and decisions

βœ… Practical brain hacks for studying, habit building, reconnection, and mood resets

βœ… How to design your own cues instead of letting random triggers run your life
