Lesson 12: Neuralplasticity Is Like A Pathway In The Forest

Every time you embark on learning something new or begin practicing a new skill, some of the billions of neurons in your brain begin to establish connections with other neurons to remember what you’re trying to learn.

You can think of the neurons in your brain as trees in a forest, initially intertwined until they create new pathways and link up with other neurons.

However, during the first attempt at learning or practicing something new, the neurons in your brain start to clear pathways to establish direct connections with other neurons.

After the second, third, tenth, and especially the hundredth repetition of thinking, studying, or practicing the same thing, your brain begins to create clearer pathways, allowing the neurons to connect and establish more permanent connections with other neurons.
