How Does Brain Development Affect The Development Of A Child's Brain

New research suggests that the development of a child’s brain starts when they are still in the womb. By the time they are born they already have millions of neurons already present and this number should remain fairly stable throughout their life. They start to learn mainly in the last 3 months before they are born and should (after birth) already be able to recognise familiar sounds and have some preference to certain tastes.
Their brain will grow for about the next two year until it is around 80% of its adult size and its growth rate slows down. During this time neurones will be strengthened and developed as the child experiences more stimuli and feelings. The more a child experiences a certain stimuli/feeling, the more likely it will forge
