You CAN build your brain and get

                                 I explained how our brain can change when we practise things:


























                                 An electrical signal is fired. It travels                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   The electrical message travels











                                 through the body of the neuron.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             across a gap to another neuron.
