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 the foundation of a wealthy and sustainable society.
Genes and environment interact throughout brain development that genes determine neurons, connections among major brain regions, while environmentand experience refine the connections, enhancing some connections while eliminating others.

It seems the impact is wide-ranged and comprehensive.
