Hebbian Learning

Hebbian learning is a concept from neuroscience describing how connections between neurons strengthen through repeated activity. When two neurons fire together consistently, the connection between them becomes more efficient, making it easier for signals to pass in the future. This is often summarized as "cells that fire together, wire together." It explains how the brain adapts, learns new skills, and forms memories by gradually reinforcing the neural pathways involved in specific tasks or associations. Hebbian learning is foundational in understanding natural learning processes and has inspired algorithms in artificial intelligence.
