After birth, the brain activity is influenced and dependent on the activity of neurons and its offshoots in the form bertrilyun-trillion connections between neurons. Through natural competition, the connections that do not or rarely used or given a stimulus would have stagnated and even atrophy or die. Strengthening the connection occurs when neurons get information or stimulation can produce bursts of power-pop. The burst of stimulating increased production of myelin is produced by glial adhesive substance. Increasing number of substances produced myelin, the more dendrites that grow, so will the more synap which means more neurons that together form a ...
