Neural Basis of Learning

The neural basis of learning involves changes in the brain's connections, known as neural pathways, which occur when we gain new knowledge or skills. This process primarily involves neurons, the brain's nerve cells, forming new connections or strengthening existing ones through a process called synaptic plasticity. When we practice or experience something repeatedly, these connections become more efficient, making it easier to recall or perform the task in the future. Essentially, learning rewires the brain, creating a more effective network for storing and accessing information.
