Document Summary
Diversity is critical to promote different ways of thinking: diversity in shape and form and connections, responsible for information processing. How do neurons know where to go? (must know part of development) How is the cns integrated as a whole to allow a coherent functioning. Each division of neuron has its own subdivisions ~ each has a different function. Start with the genome (blueprint of the brain) Neuro(cid:374)s, gial (cid:272)ells a(cid:374)d (cid:373)ortar = the (cid:858)(cid:271)ri(cid:272)ks(cid:859) Each neuron has an axon, synaptic connections, dendrites: they communicate by sending signals to each other which is done through the components listed above. To assemble the structure of the brain, you have to know the particular things that develop at a certain time, where it is developing and what exactly is developing (when, The brain is formed 5 weeks after conception (basic structure) After birth, most of the brain growth occurs within 3 to 4 years.
