In your own words, explain how neural pathways that are being used (and thus reinforced) resemble well-worn forest pathways.

(Answer in 3-5 complete sentences. Be thorough in your response.)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Neural pathways, comprised of neurons connected by dendrites, are created in the brain based on our habits and behaviors. ... As patients participate in new activities, they are training their brains to create new neural pathways. The pathways get stronger with repetition until the behavior is the new normal.A neural pathway connects one part of the nervous system to another using bundles of axons called tracts. The optic tract that extends from the optic nerve is an example of a neural pathway because it connects the eye to the brain; additional pathways within the brain connect to the visual cortex.
