These effects could have been and can be prevented‚ others you‚ or your parents‚ have no control over. Preventable or not‚ the brain physically and functionally is affected by many different factors‚ some of which include: gender‚ learning disabilities and Fetal alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).

It is about how relationships‚ experiences‚ interactions and surroundings play a huge role in child and infants brain development. The author also gives an overview of how the brain develops. The focus of this article was to inform caregivers of the importance of having a nurturing and caring environment for infants and children.

Therefore‚ the ability of the brain to respond to experience offers exciting opportunities for the development of a child.

there are several areas within development that can be impacted (Carrion & Wong‚ 2012). Neural development is affect by trauma because as a result of continuous recurrent stress (Carrion & Wong‚ 2012). Researchers suggest that traumatic events can severely impact brain development and can lead to a major impairment that will cause a disruption. This disruption will not allow neurons to carry “information” to the nervous system (Carrion & Wong‚ 2012). Neural development as it relates to traumatic

The human brain is not fully developed until age twenty five (Aamodt)‚ but students are expected to use the full capacity very early on. Different parts of the brain develop at different rates‚ and students have high expectations before their brain is ready to perform such tasks (NINDS; Marlowe). Continuous stress can even slow or stop brain development and lead to learning difficulties (UGA; Bristol Science Centre; Scott). Functions of the brain are important to comprehend so that we may determine

Is a person born to be a killer or do social pressures cause a person to lash out? These are questions that scientists have been searching for answers to for decades. Though there are many theories about biological influences‚ there is no set rule that applies to everyone that explains what makes a person turn violent. There are three events that
