The Brilliant Resilient Adolescent Brain
... The “use it or lose it principle” refers to the idea that the cells (neurons) and connections (synapses) that are used during adolescence grow and get stronger (use it!) and the ones that are not used will wither and die (lose it!). If a young person is getting exercise, playing an instrument or lea ...
