Neural Networks
Group of neurons interlinked & connected to produce specific neurological function ☆ learning a new language
Neural pathways is developed when...
New behavior is learned; stronger with practice
Neural pathways decay when
No practice
Neural Pruning
Decay of unused synapses and neurons; less decreased gray matter = more efficient brain
Maguire et al. (2000)
London taxi drivers may have increased posterior hippocampus, evidence of neuroplasticity and the development of neural pathways
