The neural formation of habits is additive §

I attended a presentation of “Portraits of the Mind” by Carl Schoonover. He showed pictures of how dendrites grow spines for better connections to synapses. Carl showed a video of neural networks forming.

Now more than ever, we are starting to witness the neural formation of habits—and it is physically additive, while being calorically subtractive. In this sense, Newton’s Law of Inertia is poetically upheld.
