Brain Story Certification Questions with
100% Correct Answers | Latest Version
2024 | Verified
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
