What happens in our brain when we practice? The better part is that practice makes us better at things. Our brain consists of two types of tissue: grey matter and white matter. The grey matter helps in processing the information and directing signal and sensory action to nerve cells. While the white matter is mainly composed of fatty tissues and nerve fibres. In order to respond correctly, information needs to travel from grey matter to a chain of nerve fibres called axons to our muscles. "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." How does practice influence the working of our brain? The axons are a projection of a nerve cell that typically transmits an electrical impulse from one neuron to another. The axons in the white matter are encapsulated ...
