Hi everyone.

So for this video, we're going to be talking about our brain's ability, in particular, our neurons ' ability to connect with each other.
00:10
Perhaps you've learned this before, but the basis of learning is repetition.
00:14
And the reason for that is because every time we learn something, we're making and strengthening connections in our brain.
00:22
So these different connections kind of depend on the amount of times that we use them.
00:27
Because then that like a well -worn groove or a well -worn path, the more times we go down it, the more clear and well -distinguished it becomes.
00:36
So we get to learn it even better and better through repeatedly retrieving that information.
00:41
Now there's a particular concept called the long -term potentiation, which refers to this ability, which is when our cells are able to fire more regularly and have a higher potential of firing thus increasing our chance of going down that path...
