How We Learn - Synapses and Neural Pathways

Every time you do or think something, neural pathways in your brain may be altered. These pathways are composed of multiple neurons that communicate with one another through junctions called synapses. When you learn something, the efficiency of the involved synapses increases, facilitating the passage of signals along a particular pathway. Your memory corresponds to the particular activity of certain networks of neurons in your brain that have strengthened connections with one another.
