Environmental factors play a big role in how our brains learn and remember things. Here are some important influences:

1. Enriched Environments:

   • Research shows that spending time in rich environments, like places with lots of activities, can help brain connections grow by up to 30%.

2. Stress:

   • Ongoing stress can weaken brain connections. It can lower the strength of these connections by about 20% over time.

3. Exercise:

   • Regular exercise is great for the brain! It can boost learning abilities by about 15% by helping to strengthen those connections.

Together, these factors help shape how our brains learn and process information.
