The extensive research that Richard Feynman did on ants showed how they created paths that got improved by continued use.

We find similar processes in the brain too, with the paths forming closed loops. Just replace the sugar with religion, creationism or whatever aberration you prefer.

By prolonged use the paths/loops become hardened, requiring more energy than available to break.

I believe we have empirical support for that theory.
