The Brain - The story of you

All the experiences in your life – from

single conversations to your broader

culture – shape the microscopic details of

your brain. Neurally speaking, who you

are depends on where you’ve been. Your

brain is a relentless shape-shifter,

constantly rewriting its own circuitry – and

because your experiences are unique, so

are the vast, detailed patterns in your

neural networks. Because they continue

to change your whole life, your identity is

a moving target; it never reaches an

endpoint.
