Research Reveals How Brain Adapts to Lifelong Learning
Date Time Research Reveals How Brain Adapts to Lifelong Learning New research from the University of Tasmania’s Menzies Institute for Medical Research has revealed a previously unknown mechanism that allows our brains to adapt to lifelong learning. In the brain, nerve cells form circuits that transmit and process information in the form of electrical signals. These circuits are insulated by a fatty substance called myelin that acts as insulation and ensures electrical signals travel reliably along the nerve.
