In early stage of life, brain is most flexible or “plastic” to adapt a wide range of environments and interactions, but as the maturing brain becomes more specialized to assume more complex functions, it is less capable of reorganizing and adapting to new or unexpected challenges. Therefore, promote healthy brain development by influence a baby’s … Continue reading "[Part 5] Early Intervention"

Nerve-Neuron and Synapse Nerve-Neuron and Synapse The function of the brain depends on activities of neurons (brain cells) and synapses (connections) that receive and send electrochemical signals (messages). Each neuron has an axon (trunk) which sends messages to the small structures – dendrites (fingers) of another neuron. When the axon connects with the dendrite of … Continue reading "[Part 2] Brain structure and development"
Is early brain development affect child development? Yes (click the button to read more) The science of early brain development can provide vital information to early childhood investment. These basic concepts have been established by neuroscience and behavioral researchers for decades that help to explain why children’s development, especially from birth to five years, is … Continue reading "[Part 1] The relationship between brain development and early childhood"
