Neural connections refer to the links formed between neurons in the brain and nervous system. These connections, known as synapses, allow for communication between neurons, enabling the transmission of signals that influence thoughts, emotions, and actions. The strength and number of these connections can change over time, a process known as neuroplasticity, which is essential for learning and memory. When we learn new information or skills, our brains create and strengthen specific neural connections. This process is crucial for adapting to new experiences and environments. Factors such as experience, environment, and genetics can all influence the formation and maintenance of these connections, impacting overall cognitive function.
