Document Summary
Chapter 4 the newborn: the first 3 months: teratogen movie the mind. There"s so much that happens in development; quadrants are shorter periods of time to pinpoint events better: why is the period 8-15 weeks so important, glial cells and neurons need to migrate to specific destinations for proper development. Each cell has a specific destination for proper development of the brain. 8th week: how is prenatal development affected, radiation cells stop migrating before they reach their destination. Fetal alcohol syndrome mothers were alcoholic and their babies came out very small, retarded with brain damage. The mother"s body is catered to that region and has well-specified antibodies: reduces risks for childhood cancers and obesity. The first few days of breastfeeding is important because milk is full of colostrum (a potent dose of antibodies) Brain structure and development: neurons, neurons nerve cells that send electrical signals through as chemical signals (neurotransmitters)
