The "neuron activation" meme, also known as the "expanding brain" meme, became widely popular in the late 2010s. It features a series of images showing a brain that progressively "activates" or expands in size, accompanied by captions that highlight increasingly complex or absurd thoughts. The format is often used to show how one's thinking evolves, with the final image showing an exaggerated or over-the-top idea. Initially, it was used to humorously represent the growth of knowledge or enlightenment. Over time, the meme adapted to depict ridiculous or ironic "progressions," turning it into a satire of self-proclaimed intellectual superiority or enlightenment.
