An insulation myelin builds along the axon. ▪ More myelin leading to the signal travels through the neurons faster with increased timing. ▪ That is, the more you practice, the stronger your brain gets, and the more automatic whatever you’re practicing becomes. 22 22 The adult brain is actually capable of growing new brain cells.
