the brain begins as an embryonic structure called the - -neural
tube, shortly after conception it is formed in neurulation, all areas
of the brain develop from here
-the brain is considered mature around what age - -25, the brain
is not mature until our mid-twenties because the prefrontal cortex
(which enables executive function abilities) continues to develop
until this time
-what is the sequence in which we learn our abilities - -sensory,
motor, emotional skills, executive function skills (begin in early
childhood but their sensitive period of development continues into
early adulthood)
-what stages of development are the most plastic and the least -
-early childhood, late childhood, adolescence, adulthood, the
brain becomes progressively less plastic with age
-the age at which a human has the most connections between
neurons is - -3, as the brain ages, unused connections are pruned
away and active connections are strengthened
, -how do experiences shape the developing brain - -they
influence which neural connections are strengthened or pruned,
they help us practice our skills
-at what stage of development do negative experiences influence
the architecture of the developing brain - -at any stage of
development, which neural circuits will be affected depends on
when the negative experience occurs
-most traits and diseases in humans are derived from - -the
interaction between genes and environmental influences
-what is an example of an epigenetic effect - -an environmental
factor modifies the area surrounding a gene such that expression
decreases
-is manual dexterity related to the quality of parental care a child
receives - -no
-which gene has been shown to be epigenetically modified by the
quality of maternal care in rat offsrping - -the glucocorticoid
receptor gene which is methylated in response to maternal care
-what happens to the tress response system when the
glucocorticoid receptor gene is epigenetically modified such that
