Speeding up our brain signals through practice

Let’s say you practise kicking a football at a goal.

If you kept practising, the part of your brain used

for kicking accurately would become denser – there

would be more brain circuits.

The coating (myelin sheath) of the neurons would also be thicker.

This would mean the information

passing from one neuron to another

would be faster.

And the faster the information travels,

the easier it will be for you to kick the

ball accurately!
