    the brain. It is known that the complete development of the brain is necessary for the normal physical and mental processes of a person but I wrongly assumed that such development is completed before birth. It is interesting to know that Dr. Harry Chugani, a pediatric neurobiologist at Wayne State University amazing has provided a glimpse inside an infant’s head. We are able to see activities such retinal neuron making connection to visual cortex and the release of neurotransmitter brain chemical

    For many years it was believed that the brain stopped developing within the first few years of life but it is now known that the brain continues to develop through adolescence. Scientists were able to make this discovery by studying the brain through MRIs. They have determined that adolescence is a crucial and sensitive time for growth in humans and that the environments of adolescents determines their functions and mental state for adulthood. This information is important to teaching and parenting

    FETAL BRAIN DEVELOPMENT AND THE PRETERM INFANT 2 NORMAL FETAL BRAIN DEVELOPMENT Embryonic brain development begins a few weeks after conception through the processes known as gastrulation and neurulation (Gilbert, 2000). During gastrulation the embryo changes from a simple group of cells to a multi-layered organism. Three germ layers are formed during this process: the endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm (Gilbert, 2000). The endoderm is the most inner layer and forms the lining of internal

    The idea of epigenesis has become well known as an integral part of the constructivist theory which states that neural activity within the brain is largely spontaneous, driven by genetic and molecular instances (Mareschal, D., Johnson, M.H., & Grayson, A., 2004). However, after birth, the neural activity is influenced by sensory and motor experience and the outside environment (Mareschal et al, 2004). Epigenesis is what the constructivist theory is about, the interaction between genes and the environment

    Development of treatments for brain disorders has always been a problematic issue due to the lack of knowledge and information on the physiology and mechanisms of many of these disorders (Stoeckel, 2014, p. 245). Various diseases, especially the lethal ones such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, have many unanswered questions and vast gaps to be filled at the biological level that are critical in formulating treatments for each disease (Stoeckel, 2014, p. 246). As a result, the development
