Neurons activate in a network, creating a specific experience.

Links from the experience remain after the experience has completed.
The more the specific experience happens, the stronger the links become, creating a distinct Neural Pattern, and a propensity for the experience to happen again.

As a new experience starts to happen, it involves one of the neurons in the associated network, and the original Neural Pattern is engaged, recreating the previous experience.
