Neural Circuits: the brain’s road system
Some actions involve lots of
neurons firing all at the same time.
This is called a neural circuit.
It’s a bit like road system
joining different parts of a city
– but instead, the roads are
electrical signals and instead
of linking parts of a city, they Each time groups of neurons fire
link neurons. together, the circuit gets stronger
and faster.
