Hebb's rule

Hebb's rule is a principle in neuroscience that explains how connections between neurons strengthen over time. It states that if one neuron regularly activates another neuron simultaneously or in a close sequence, the connection between them becomes stronger. This process is often summarized as "cells that fire together, wire together." Essentially, when certain patterns of activity occur repeatedly, the neural pathways involved become more efficient, enabling quicker and more effective communication, which underpins learning and memory formation in the brain.
