How does the brain change when you learn something?
Most learning in the brain involves rewiring or making and strengthening connections between neurons, the cells of your brain most crucial for learning. In most regions of the brain, the only neurons you will have throughout all of your life are already present at birth.
Research conducted on the simpler nervous system of invertebrates, as well as on nonhuman primates, other vertebrates, and humans, has indicated how learning brings about structural changes in nerve cells and how the neurons in turn form regions, which take part in networks.

The conditions of play—the generation of signals that enhance learning without an accompanying stress response—allow the brain to explore possibilities and to learn from them. Thus, a major function of play may well be to provide practice for real life.
Jan 7, 2020 · Neuroscientists have long known that learning experiences change the functional circuitry that is used to process and remember a given learning event.
Nov 5, 2018 · Here I will assume that whether a nervous system is necessary for learning is tightly intertwined with the nature of learning (as expressed by definitions of “learning”). Still, invertebrates constitute too broad a category.

If information processing and learning arise from the strengthening of synaptic connections between neurons in gray matter, why does learning affect the brain’s subsurface cabling? A possible answer began to emerge from cellular studies in my lab investigating how synapses—but also other brain areas—change during learning.
Sep 2, 2014 · Learning rewires the brain. In the process, some of the brain’s nerve cells change shape or even fire backwards. An artist's depiction of an electrical signal (yellow-orange regions) shooting down a nerve cell and then off to others in the brain.
