Din hjärna är en fantastisk apparat uppgjord av hundratals miljarder hjärnceller som var och en pratar med tiotusentals grannceller i ett makalöst nätverk-av-nätverk. För att förstå detta kan det vara hjälpsamt att likna hjärncellens form till ett träd – på detta ”träd” är rötterna de så kallade dendriterna, och stammen som leder upp till kronan är den så kallade axonen. Celler bildar nätverk och The brain consists of billions of neurons forming intricate contiguous networks. The connective strength in these networks change throughout life in response to experience and environmental stimuli. Indeed, by using these plastic mechanisms You have successfully molded networks in your brain to perform the task of reading and understanding this text. This feat is made more remarkable when consider
