Brain Development

To delve deeper into how early experiences shape the brain and influence long-term development, here are some key points backed by reference materials: Critical Periods and Brain Wiring During early childhood, the brain is highly plastic, with 50% more connections between neurons than in the adult brain. This period is crucial for forming strong neural…

A) Synaptic Strengthening: B) Chemical Changes: A) Classical Conditioning: Homosynaptic Plasticity: The strengthening of connections between neurons that are activated simultaneously. B) Associative Learning: Heterosynaptic Plasticity: The strengthening of connections between neurons that are activated at different times, but are still related to each other. A) Learning New Skills: B) Memory Formation: A) Bliss and…
