The authors of this article, Martha Ann Bell, Annie Bernier, and Susan D. Calkins (2016) set out to find whether or not early care-giving experiences have an effect on brain development. The authors hypothesized that good childcare, or nurturing, would have a positive effect on synapse formation in the brain. The authors noted that there has not been a lot of research on the effects of mother-infant interactions on child development thus far. The only cases done at large are those of the severe situations

what happened? These are just a few situations, but there are plenty of more. Alcohol can damage the brain, harm your liver and cause you to experiment with more dangerous drugs and alcohol. First of all, alcohol damages the developing brain by killing off brain cells. By drinking alcohol it kills neurons, which send electrochemical signals to and from the brain and nervous system. Though it kills brain cells, there is a process called neurogenesis that could help restore some of those cells. Conversely

How does alcohol affect the brain? Alcohol has the chemical element of ethanol which its formula is CH3CH2OH or C2H5OH. When the yeast is fermented, the yeast is broken down by sugar to form carbon dioxide and the alcohol.The carbon dioxide will exit the alcohol by gas bubbles. Alcohol is the number one abused drug in the United States followed by marijuana. Alcohol in the brain is a central nervous system depressant which is detected by slurred speech and poor limb coordination that prevents
