Our brains contain around 100 billion neurons, each of which can have up to 10,000 connections. We learn by means of some neurons establishing connections to other neurons and thus creating circuits which are then “weighted” by means of dampening or intensifying input from other neurons. In a very crude sense, our brains are massive logic circuits.
