TRUE or FALSE: the hippocampus develops slowest.
FALSE (During early childhood, the hippocampus, which is associated with memory storage and retrieval develops more rapidly)
What is the last area of the brain to fully develop?

MEOWDI
TRUE or FALSE: cats long-term memory is well-developed and they can recalls experiences and relationships for years.
TRUE! so don't be mean to kitties!
What are the 3 primary Brain Vesicles?
Forebrain
Midbrain
Hindbrain
TRUE OR FALSE: Newborns have the same number of neurons as adults.
TRUE (but newborns have less neural connections than adults)
When does the brain finish developing?
some say 25, some say 30, but our brains never stop changing! they are plastic.

Cerebrum
Eye cup
Thalamus, Hypothalamus, and epithalamus

Why is Synaptic pruning important?
It allows brain circuits to become more efficient, which allows more complex systems to be built on simple pathways.

16 days
DOUBLE POINTS: How many neural connections are formed every second in the first year of life?
1 million.
Why would a loud noise disrupt a young adults ability to take a test?
Because the brain might not be as good at regulating and processing emotions yet.
