Those changes can happen within half a second, actually, as different neurons fire together, different neurochemicals flow. It's kind of extraordinary just to imagine how small things are. I mean, you could put the cell body of roughly five neurons, typical neurons, side by side in the width of one of your hairs,

The little connections between neurons, the synapses, you could put several thousand of them side by side in the width of a single hair. Okay, so things happen really fast. More structural, not just functional changes, typically take seconds or minutes or days. It's a longer process whereby new connections form between neurons Existing connections become sensitized or desensitized.
