Brain development - Introduction

3 important questions on Brain development - Introduction

Brain development has 3 rules of thumb on how it progresses

  1. Back-to-front
  2. inside-out
  3. rise-and fall principle

Shared prenatal phase and postnatal phases

  • Neural proliferation
  • Cell migration
  • Cell differentiation
  • Synaptogenesis
  • Cell death
  • Synapse rearrangement
  • Myelination

Prenatal and postnatal phases share most of the processes, apart of:

Neural proliferation, which is prenatal only -> they have different speed

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
