Summary Introduction
To review: How learning many languages is easier in childhood than in adulthood.
Introduction:
Neurons are formed in the embryo after regulated gene expression and signal transduction. All neurons need nutrient for growth, and the neurons that reach the correct location survives. Neurons form numerous synapses for proper functions. Neurons stabilize some neurons and destabilize certain neurons.

What is true of prenatal effects on brain plasticity?
Parents' experiences before conception can influence their children's later brain development.
Positive experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas negative experiences do not.
Negative experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas positive experiences do not.
Gene expression cannot be altered by prenatal experiences but can be altered after a child is born.
What change in neural structure or function must take place for learning to occur? Also, explain how this is innate (genetically determined or enabled) or not innate.
Xavier, 16, invites a group of his high school friends to swim in a neighbor's pool late at night while that neighbor is away. They climb the fence and jump in, playing wildly and loudly in the water. Just a few minutes later, the police arrive. How does adolescent brain development help explain Xavier's poor decision-making?
A. The regions regulating his emotions are underdeveloped.
B. His limbic system is underdeveloped.
C. His prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped.
D. His amygdala is underdeveloped

True O Falsearrow_forwardWatch this animation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/braindevel) to examine the development of the brain, starting with the neural tube. As the anterior end of the neural tube develops, it enlarges into the primary vesicles that establish the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Those structures continue to develop throughout the rest of embryonic development and into adolescence. They are the basis of the structure of the fully developed adult brain. How would you describe the difference in the relative sizes of the three regions of the brain when comparing the early (25th embryonic day) brain and the adult brain?arrow_forward

- Research demonstrates substantial cognitive declines by older adults in laboratory tasks. However, older adults often do not show deficits when performing tasks during their everyday lives. (1) If laboratory performance by older adults is so different in terms of neurology as well as cognitive and emotional processing, how do they cope so well in everyday life? (2) How do differences between normal and pathological aging translate into differences in everyday functioning?arrow_forwardProvide three pieces of evidence that suggest language development is innatearrow_forwardIs the shape of the lateral geniculate nucleus mostly similar in the mouse brain, or does it look different compared to the sheep brain? What about the size of the brain area relative to the total size of the brain? Is the brain area larger, smaller, or about the same size as it is in the sheep brain? *This is only one question, just asked in different ways for detail. Thanks in advance. Basically, I would like to know if brain parts differ from size (proportion) between mammals. In this case, the size between a sheep or mouse brain.arrow_forward
- The brain is particularly sensitive to being shaped by input from the environment during sensitive periods of neuroplasticity. Which of the following, related to this statement, is true? A) Experience-dependent and experience-expectant plasticity during sensitive periods allow children to adapt to the environment to which they are exposed. B) Properties of sensitive period plasticity are adaptive, but also leave the brain vulnerable to harm. C) Sensitive periods are only relevant during prenatal development, and the postnatal environment shapes the brain via different mechanisms D) A & B are both correctarrow_forwardDefine neural pruning and explain why it happens in the adolescence brain.arrow_forwarddiscuss how nature (genetics), nurture (environment, ecosystems, culture), or a combination of both can interact with brain development in infancy and motor development in infancyarrow_forward
