"I think we're getting closer to this day, because we are able to understand in greater cellular detail how the brain develops throughout development," said Dr Hensch.
"One of the things that the research clearly demonstrates is that early access to cannabis can have detrimental effects for brain development, and the brain develops up to age 25".
First, research on early brain development indicates that the brain develops most rapidly in the first years of life and that environmental stimulation positively affects the developing brain (Shonkoff and Phillips 2000).
During embryonic and early postnatal periods of development, the mammalian brain develops through precisely coordinated processes of neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation, fate specification and migration (reviewed in Gotz and Huttner).
Identifying more genes required for the various aspects of brain development is essential for elucidating further how the complex brain develops.
This can affect the baby's development, in particular the way its brain develops and how it grows in the womb.
Violence affects the way the brain develops.
It's thought that the normal brain develops its facial recognition skill through innate knowledge and a learning ability.
