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.







       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.
