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.
