Q

Learning is crossing the synaptic gap”
➔ Use the image of the ravine to explain this

A

The first time a signal wants to go from one side of aneuron to another is the hardest. That’s the same when
we want to cross a ravine for the first time.

Learning is difficult but as the signal crosses over and over again, a solid pathway is being made.

After a while the crossing over becomes effortless, we
can do it whenever we like.
