Development of Human Brain
Development of Human Brain
- The central nervous system is made up of about 100 billion neurons.
- During brain development, 250,000 neurons are added every minute.
- At birth, almost all the neurons that the brain will ever have are present.
- The first three years of life are a period of incredible growth in all areas of a baby's development. By age 3, it has grown dramatically by producing billions of cells and hundreds of trillions of connections, or synapses, between these cells.
- Parents should grab the chance of the first years to help their children get off to a good start and establish personalized patterns for life-long learning.
