"Neuronal Connectivity Boosts Entrepreneurial Minds"
A study by the University of Liège found that serial entrepreneurs have higher neuronal connectivity between the right insula and the anterior prefrontal cortex compared to managers. Using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), the researchers discovered that entrepreneurs have higher connectivity between key brain regions associated with cognitive flexibility and exploratory choices. This may explain why they can effectively balance between exploration and exploitation, a vital trait for their success. The study offers an innovative approach to understanding the entrepreneurial mindset and highlights the need for fostering cognitive flexibility in organizations.
