When I recite my ABCs, am I firing neurons from my childhood? And/or am I firing the same network that dates back to my childhood?

Your brain is made up of more-or-less the same neurons as when you were a baby. And you're *probably* using similar neurons, an overlapping network, when you think now about things you learned then. But these neural networks change every time they are used for something; they grow, shift, shrink, etc. So it's certainly not the *same* network. But surely it overlaps in significant ways.
