A journey to Californias Channel IslandsBMany people think of the brain as a mystery. They dont know much about intelligence and how it works. When they do think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumband stays that way for life.But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscleit changes and gets stronger when you use it. And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger. A person who cant lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time. Thats because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise. And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink and you get weaker.Thats why people say, “Use it or lose it!”But most people dont know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise. Inside the cortex（脑皮层）of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells. Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems. When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger. The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow. Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy. The result is a stronger and smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals brains. They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment, with other animals and toys to play with,were more “aptitudinal”they were better at solving problems and learning new things.（ ）24.
