For started, the brain’s axon passes messages away from the cell body to other neurons. Gradually, axons become more insulated with myelin, eventually boosting the axon’s transmission speed up to hundred times. Meanwhile, dendrites which receive messages from other cells grow twiggier, and the most heavily used synapses grow richer and stronger. At the same time, synapses that have a little use tendency and begin to wither. This synaptic pruning, causes the brain’s cortex to become thinner but more efficient. In conclusion, these changes make the entire brain a much faster and more sophisticated
