Your amazing brain and senses, sentence 3

The real brain is even more amazing: scans show you use virtually all of it, different parts busy at different moments, and it keeps building new connections all your life, so practice really changes it.

Who acts: real brain, scans, you, brain, practice · What happens: be, show, use, keep, build, change · To what, where: all, new connections, brain · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Your amazing brain and senses» of the myths course of Mova's primary school.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R7-rel-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
