Neuroplasticity

The brain learns through a process known as neuroplasticity. This is the brain's ability to change and reorganize itself based on different experiences. Learning takes place when the brain creates new neuronal connections or strengthens existing ones. Our brain cells, also known as neurons, communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. The more frequently these signals are transmitted, the stronger the connection between the neurons becomes. This process is known as long-term potentiation (LTP) and is considered the basis for learning and memory formation. Repetition and practice are crucial for learning as they strengthen the connections between neurons and make them more efficient. Sleep and breaks also play an important role in learning and memory consolidation, as they allow the brain to process and integrate new information.
