“Neurons that FIRE together, WIRE together!” 🔥

This quote was coined by neuroscientist Carla Shatz, PhD and is based on a theory originally proposed by Donald Hebb, PhD - a psychologist who helped shape our understanding of how learning and memory work in the brain. 🧠 ⚡️

Happy Gardening - Why does gardening feel so good? 😄🌸🍃

When you dig your hands in the dirt, you may be meeting some friendly bacteria called mycobacterium vaccae (pronounced vahh - kayy). These bacteria can help your brain release more serotonin!
