• Nature versus Nurture
• Rapid development

Development of the Brain.
• The human central nervous system begins to form when the embryo is approximately 2 weeks old.

Development of the Brain
• The fluid-filled cavity becomes the central canal of the spinal cord and the four ventricles of the brain.

Development of the Brain
• At birth, the human brain weighs approximately 350 grams.
• By the first year. the brain weighs approximately 1000 grams.
• The adult brain weighs 1200-1400 grams.

Development of the Brain
• The development of neurons in the brain involves the following four processes:
1. Proliferation
2. Differentiation
3. Myelination
4. Synaptogenesis

Plasticity After Brain Damage
• Survivors of brain damage show subtle to significant behavioral recovery.
• Some of the mechanisms of recovery include those similar to the mechanisms of brain development such as the new branching of axons and dendrites.

Plasticity After Brain Damage
• Possible causes of brain damage include:– Tumors– infections– exposure to toxic substances– degenerative diseases– closed head injuries.

Plasticity After Brain Damage
• A closed head injury
• A stroke or cerebrovascular accident– Ischemia– Hemorrhage– Edema-

How can we help?
• tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
• Cooling the brain
• Cannabanoids

Plasticity After Brain Damage
• Ways the brain compensates for decreased input and to restores normal functioning include:
• Denervation supersensitivity
• Disuse supersensitivity

Plasticity After Brain Damage
• Phantom limb
• Deafferenated limbs
