This video illustrates how the connections between the neurons in our brain are formed in early childhood, how genes and experiences shape these connections, and how these connections then create the foundation for all future learning and development.
  • How do genes and experiences influence brain development?
  • What is pruning? How does this work?
  • What kinds of experiences promote brain development? What kinds of experiences negatively impact brain development?
