Speeding up our brain signals through practice






       Every time we repeat



       something, a coating around




       the trunk of the neuron,



       called the myelin sheath, gets




       thicker.




       That means that the more we




       repeat something, the easier and faster we can do it.






       Scientists think that the thicker the coating, the faster messages




       travel to the next neuron.
