Hebb's postulate for learning is a well-known theory that explains synaptic plasticity in the brain. According to this theory, when neuron A repeatedly fires neuron B, some change occurs that increases the efficiency (or strength) of the synapse between A and B. This strengthens the connection between the two neurons and enhances their ability to communicate with each other.
