I understand that nerves make new connections when learning occurs, but how 
many would be made in the course of an hour of watching say a documentary on 
TV? just to get some idea of scale really, it has to be more than one, but 
there are trillions of connections, so how many connections are made per hour 
of learning? I have searched your site and loads of others but can't find 
anything lke this.
Thanks
Andrea
