BRAIN AND NEURONS

  • New born brain - 100 billion brain cells (neurons) ready to operate -  but   the   brain cells/neurons  sure  not  ‘connected’ yet. 
  • Neurons are   cell bodies with  nucleas, composed  of  DNA (which contains  the  cell’s genetic  programming).
  • As  the  brain  grows - the  cell  migrate  to various  parts - spread out  to perform   different  functions - they sprout  axons & dendrites.
  • Cells.
  • First 3 years of life - children’s brain are actively building and developing connections between  the neurons cells.
  • Connections   are   developed when the brain are actively receiving   stimulus - process between   receiving and   sending impulses between the cells.
  • Through axons/dendrites - send signals to other neurons & receive   incoming message through connection called synapses.
  • The message transmission process  from  one   neuron  to the   other is   done  through synap -  with the  aid  of   neurotransmitter – that  moves  through   the  gap between  axon  of  one  cell   and  dendrite  of  another .
  • The  neurons  networking developed  based  on  children’s  experiences  - where  each   experience leads  to  the development  of  new  brain  cells - as  more  information’s  gain.
  • With proper stimulation, the synapses become stronger - information moves faster.
  • Thus, enhancing their  development  is   very  crucial
