Myelin is universal, everyone can grow it, most swiftly during childhood but also throughout life
Myelin might just be the holy grail: the foundation of all forms of greatness
Myelin assists in growing talent, by tapping into a newly discovered brain mechanism
Myelin allows you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in sports, art, music, maths or just about anything
Myelin is not built to respond to fond wishes or vague ideas.It responds to urgent repitition
Myelin wraps - it doen't unwrap.Once a skill circuit is insulated, you cant un-insulate it. ( except through age or disease)
Myelin is a revolutionary scientific discovery involving a neural insulator, which some neurologists now consider to be the holy grail of acquiring skill. Here's why. Every human skill, whether playing golf or playing Bach, is created by chains of nerve fibers carrying a tiny electrical impulse - basically, a signal travelling through a circuit.. Myelin's vital role is to wrap those nerve fibers the same way that rubber insulation wraps a copper wire, making the signal stronger and faster by preventing the electrical impulses from leaking out. When we fire our circuits in the right way - when we practice swinging a club - our Myelin responds by wrapping layers of insulation around that neural circuit, each new layer adding a bit more skill and speed.The thicker the Myelin gets, the better it insulates, and the faster and more accurate our movements and thoughts become.
The Myelin revolution is built on three simple facts
1. Every human movement, thought or feeling is a precisely timed electric signal travelling through a chain of neurons - a circuit of nerve fibers
2. Myelin is the insulation that wraps these nerve fibers and increases signal strength, speed and accuracy
3. The more we fire a particular circuit, the more myelin optimizes that circuit, and the stronger, faster, and more fluent our movements and thoughts become
