A neural network is a cluster of neurons connected together to form a  “database” of encoded information such as thoughts, feelings, beliefs,  programmed reactions, emotions, and even physiological data. Neural networks are the actual biological location of change.  Change does not take place without re-wiring of existing neural  connections or creating entirely new connections. We call these  biological changes “learning something new” and it matters not if it is  good or bad learning. Sooner or later new learning moves from inside  physical changes (neuronal connections) to outside physical changes  (actual behavior). This is why we can literally “become” what we think  about most of the time… If we frequently ruminate about depressive or obsessive thoughts, we are building a neurological database for  depression or obsession and can experience everything that goes with it!
