Human mind is made to process information at a very fast rate, about 2 billion calculations our brain make every second. And also, with a range unimaginable. Around 86 billion neuro cells create connection through pathways which are called neuro pathways.

These pathways help connecting information that neuro cells carry and process that information. creating new memories is important for brain to function well. Whenever a new memory is added to brain, it creates new pathway and that’s how brain becomes active.

The new memory may be of any kind like, taste, touch, image, and sound. A new memory is always added into brain with the help of previous information. for instance, if I am writing a new sentence then brain uses its previous information that has taken years to learn, like grammar, spellings, writing styles to create something new.

Years of information that a writer has taken to create is been taken and processed by our brain within 3 to 4 months, and that’s amazing.
