Can someone with knowledge explain the "breaking in" phenomenon

in cables. I am familiar with electrical activity in humans such as in the heart or brain and how abnormal "conduction" can lead to changes in how electrical signals are propagated. But, that is with living cells. How does the passage of electrons over time through a cable change how future electrons will be conducted ? Not looking for flames ( short circuits anyone !), I am just trying to understand a claim made by many throughout the audio community and that is that the sound the cables contribute to a system's sound can change over time due to changes in the cable. Thanks Norm
