Our three-pound brains, with consistency of raw eggs, continually rewire to learn better.
Victims often fear or dread their future, suffering mood disturbances, from serotonin failure.
So despair deepens and learning loss results. Our brains are orchestrated by 200 kinds of cells with trillions of neural signals actively communicating in the cortex. Observed through brain imaging, brain chemicals seep through clefts in the brain and convert to electrical impulses which impact what you learn and sway your reactions to life around you. Chemicals called neurotransmitters act as biochemical messengers, which generate learning, and act as stimuli to excite neurons or as inhibitors to suppress them. Drugs can stimulate or block synapses, another name for communication and electrical activity among neurons.
