to differentiate. This specialized tissue starts developing from the top down. Specialized tissues begin forming limbs and digits from the top of the fetus and working its way down to its limbs. Any agent that causes a birth defect is called a teratogen. Teratogens can vary from chemicals to abnormal heat generated by the mother’s body. Defects can be anything from missing limbs to cleft lips or palettes. The degree of severity varies according to the amount of time and the amount of teratogens

Summary on Brain Plasticity Research and treatments in the neurorehabilitation field are starting to excel. It was first thought that the central nervous system could not repair itself after an injury. It wasn’t until the 1970’s that research studies showed it had the ability to heal itself to some extent. Researchers ultimately wanted to know if there was a relationship between the central nervous system and cortical plasticity so this knowledge could be used to benefit patient recovery. One
