create connections (Barnard 4). The brain might create new connections known as synapses or it might simply strengthen the existing ones (Barnard 4). The connections help decide what to do, “so a rickety one-lane bridge that could accommodate a pedestrian or two becomes a two-lane bridge...or an eight-lane thoroughfare” (Barnard 4). Water also has an impact on the structure and function of the brain (Kanarek 9). If there’s not enough water reaching the brain, then the person might start to lose…
