Speeding up brain signals through practice






       Every time we repeat something, a coating around the trunk of the neuron


       gets thicker.











                                                                                       Scientists think that the thicker the

                                                                                       coating, the faster

                                                                                       messages travel to the next

        That means that the more we repeat something, the


        easier and faster we can do it.
