And what seems to be going on is that, in the brain, those neural connections that are important, those synaptic connections that are important, are linked and strengthened, while those that are less important tend to fade away and be less important.
O que parece acontecer é que, no cérebro, aquelas conexões neurais que são importantes, aquelas conexões sinápticas que são importantes, são ligadas e fortalecidas, enquanto que as menos importantes tendem a desvanecer-se e tornar-se menos importantes.
