Development of the Brain

Click here to read the study
    
         When I looked at this website, it instantly caught my eye because it was about new discoveries on how infants brains can transform into children brains and then to adult. This has always interested me because I have always wondered how our brains are able to transform themselves and without us doing anything physical to them. An even cooler part of this article was that they tested the different brain developmental aspects of children with specific disorders, such as being blind and concluded the differences between the two.

                The neuroscientists were shocked to gather the findings but also intrigued to continue their studies so that they can continue to develop more information. These findings show how the brain is developed through out time and the different experiences play roles in our everyday life by affecting our brain development.

                I’m really excited to hear about new discoveries when it comes to learning how the brain develops because, like I said before, I’m super interested when it comes to learning about the brain and how it functions. I think learning about how the brain develops can just lead to more information about ourselves that we before had no idea about. I think it is very important to know everything about ourselves and right now in this day and age of science, I think there is so much more we can learn about how our brains work which leads to how the body works together as a whole. I also think that learning the simple, fundamental things about our brain can help us later when it comes to learning how to treat different disabilities some people have, such as blindness. And if we can figure out how blindness works and how it affects brain development, we can soon try to come up with a treatment that cures it better. I also think that if we know what blindness is and how it affects us, we can have a little more respect for those people who are affected by this because we will know more how it works. If more and more people have a respect for it, we will have a new, more improved ways for parents, teachers, co-workers and even family members to coup with it as well as the ones actually dealing with it.

                This is just the beginning of all the discoveries that have been found and there are still many more to be found. All these discoveries will help us improve ourselves by giving us something in common while still having those differences between each other.
