Your task is to create a piece of artwork that represents your theory on how neuronal connections change during learning.  You will create a representation of connections of neurons in a 2 year old brain and a 22 year old brain.   There is not necessarily a right or wrong answer, but your theory.  To help you determine your theory, you should explore the resources below.
