pathway

Once inside the brain, ethanol’s unique structure allows it to bind to, interact, and affect many different neuronal receptors, impairing pathways that allow you to make careful decisions, control your impulses, and even manage your motor skills.

It's something you have to give yourself permission to take a little bit of time to practice because you're building up neural pathways associated with a certain behavior, and those neural pathways just build up over time.

Scientific studies suggest that when we're born, our brains already have the networks that allow our eyes to see and our vocal cords to produce sounds, but not with the pathways we need to read.
