Psychology Essay
Contexto (talking about the acquisition of customary behaviors and attitudes):
A medida que ese proceso se va desarrollando, aunque no nos damos cuenta se van creando surcos y patrones mentales que se constituyen en circuitos cerebrales. Dichos surcos se van haciendo más "profundos" cada vez que ocupamos la mente con pensamientos del mismo tipo, en otras palabras, cada vez que se repiten.
"Grooves" or "furrows" doesn't seem to make much sense here, except when the writer says "profundos".
Gracias,
Barbara

: Like it -- a neutral word that is not overly technical, but is still consistent with brain circuits.
