Baby’s Brain

In THE SECRET LIFE OF THE BRAIN, a David Grubin Production, it describes that a baby’s brain is a mystery whose secrets scientists are just beginning to unravel. The mystery begins in the womb – only four weeks into gestation the first brain cells, the neurons, are already forming at an astonishing rate: 250,000 every minute.

The development of the nervous system does not stop at birth. The mechanism of synaptic reinforcement associated with neuronal activity continues to influence a baby’s synapses after birth. The environmental inputs through the sensory stimuli, such as learning to read, shape the architecture of the baby’s brain.

Architect of Baby’s Brain

The development of the nervous system does not stop at birth. The mechanism of synaptic reinforcement associated with neuronal activity continues to influence a baby’s synapses after birth. At birth a baby’s brain already has about 200 billion neurons, whi...

Baby's Immature Brain

Sufficient evidence has shown that synaptic reorganizations also occur in the immature brain, where a neuron may lose connections that it had initially established with other neurons, or receives increased connections with certain neurons multiply through...
