Speeding up brain signals through practice
Every time we repeat
something, a coating around
the trunk of the neuron, called
the myelin sheath, gets thicker.
Scientists think that the thicker the coating, the faster messages
travel to the next neuron.
That means that the more we repeat something, the easier
and faster we can do it.
