School may be out for the summer, but learning never stops. But what does it mean to learn? Besteducationdegrees.com has created an interesting infographic on the process of studying and learning-down to the chemical reactions that occur in the brain!
Your brain is a miracle. Compromised of over 90,000 miles of fibers, this thinker completes thousands of processes a second. From keeping your heart beating, to recognizing the name of a relative you haven’t seen in a few years-the brain is an amazing thing.
When you learn something new, the involved synapses change. Once the information is stored, the more your recall what you’ve learned, the more simultaneous the process becomes. This same reaction occurs when learning any new information, including a new skill. What’s even more amazing, is that as you learn, your brain actually grows!
