How the Body Works The Anatomy of Learning

When we learn something, new pathways are established in the brain's nerve network. Between the fine branches of adjacent nerve cells are synapses, which transmit information. In an enlargement there are at first few such junctions between the dendritic spines, but during learning new spines grow, enabling new synapses to develop so that there are now firmly established routes for the transfer of certain information. The brain's activity has altered subtly. Arrows indicate the one-way flow of information at a synapse.

  • I've never really understood this, what happens if someone tells you a lie? so they would connect but if you found out its a lie they disconnect or another is connected to understand that the other is a lie. And it's not as if we only connect when things are true, that would mean that we had pre designated connections for everything in the universe.

  • And despite all this information, I have yet to hear how, for example, the set of neurons stores the pieces of picture of a wheelbarrow.

  • next time you make a video like this, stick some heavy metal rock music, flashing lights, and skateboarders in the background
