YOU CAN REWIRE YOUR OWNED BRAIN “The more frequently pathways are used, the stronger they get” What is significant and worth learning gets clear as time passes. (Mummy dose not like it when I yell - worth remembering) Other things do not matter. (Sometime people wear blue hats - not important) Many neural connections are lost, and those that remain get strengthened. The more frequently pathways are used, the stronger they get. Other paths are unused and fall into disrepair. “What fire together, wires together” Change in the synapse is known as synaptic neuroplasticity … is how we BUILD HABITS and GAIN SKILL, whether it is to learn tennis, golf, or make cigarettes. A synapse is strengthened when the neurones on both side are active at the same time, making the signal more likely to be transmitted across the gap. The neutron before synapse must reliably fire before the neutron after the synapse, so the signal keeps flowing. 你可以把⼤腦改變 “Never Played Piano” There is plenty of evidence … One Experiment (Pascual-Leone 1995) took people who had never played the piano and divided them into two groups. The first group mentally practised a musical sequence for two hours a day for five days. The second group physically played the passage for same amount of time. Both group could play the sequence, and both had similar BRAIN MAPS. Both group played well by third day. The mental practice had formed the same maps in the motor cortex as physical practice. “Thinking changes the brain, and then the changed brain influences our future thinking” SPIN UP POWER
