Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
How does learning new things change the human brain?
A
increases the number of synapse connections between neurons
B
structure changes every time a person learns, and every time that person has a new thought or memory
C
connections between neurons get stronger, and the brain is able to process, think, analyze, and store information more quickly and productively
D
all of these answers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each and every time we learn something new our brain forms new connections and neurons and makes existing neural pathways stronger or weaker. Some experts call these changes “plasticity” in the brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Learning changes the physical structure of the brain. These structural changes alter the functional organization of the brain; in other words, learning organizes and reorganizes the brain. Different parts of the brain may be ready to learn at different times.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you are learning, important changes take place in your brain, including the creation of new connections between your neurons. This phenomenon is called neuroplasticity. The more you practice, the stronger these connections become.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a person’s social environment changes, it challenges his sense of stability (or more specifically, his brain’s). If the brain decides the change is, in fact, threatening, then it will resist or avoid the change as much as possible-“fight or flight” mode as it’s often called.
