English translation: adding to

English term or phrase: building ... on
As Joseph LeDoux, a professor of neuroscience at
New York University, memorably described it,
“Added connections are therefore more like new
buds on a branch rather than new branches.”
Through this lens, learning looks a lot like building,
little by little, on the unique patterns already there
within you. Which in turn means learning has to start
by finding and understanding those patterns—your
patterns, not someone else’s.

Selected answer:adding to
Explanation:
constructing more on what is already there

"Added connections are therefore more like new
buds on a branch rather than new branches.”

So you have the branch in place and nbow you are adding more buds (connections) to it so you have a base and are building on it (what's already in place) rather than starting fresh
