Document Summary
Eled 250: chapter 1 + 2: brain information. Development is relatively orderly (happen in a certain pattern) Cerebral cortex: outer layer (1/8th inch thick, matures the slowest. Hemispheres: damage to right hemisphere affects left side of body. Once older, the brain is able to handle high-stress and low-stress situations easier, be more organized, and control reflexes/body movements more efficiently.
