Joseph Smith D&C 131:6 Whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection. And if a person gains more knowledge and intelligence in this life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come. D&C 130:18-19

  11. HOW LEARNING WORKS There are millions of synapses in the hippocampus. Different neurons communicate to each other in the synapses. A transmitter is a chemical on one cell that binds to a receptor on a different cell. Together, they carry messages down the line. Most cells have both transmitters and receptors. The synapses are where you record short-term memories. They are then filed away as long-term memory or forgotten. Memory is not simply a matter of activating the existing receptors. Instead, more receptors are inserted into the synapses. The greater the number that are inserted, the better the memory. Learning (including repetition and review) grows the brain and establish foundations for later learning.
