The human body it’s in a constant change and development, physical and intellectual development from the conception until it dies. Besides the heart, the brain is considered the most important organ of our body. The brain starts its development from the nine to sixteen week of gestation and it continues growing and improving through the time and experiences. The brain development starts very fast in the infancy and becomes slower through the lifespan.
In the first months of life, the human brain develops almost its entire structure. We are born with millions of neurons, over the child’s life it begins to develop trillions of connections in the brain, these connections it’s known as …show more content…

Lateralization is the process that divides the brain functions in two hemispheres; language, logic, analysis, math in the left side and intuition, creativity, art/music, spatial perception to the right side of the brain but this can be determinate by interaction of genes and experiences. The hippocampus that is involved in the transfer of information to long term memory and the handedness which define the right or left hand trendy also occur at this phase of the childhood.

It may be difficult for the brain at this stage to storage new information, for example; Sometime we see how older people tend to easily forgets recent information, such as a new person’s name, through the time these issue may increase. In adulthood myelination continues and old connection die, and new ones are born even in the brains of older adults. By adulthood the most important trait in the brain is its plasticity that is the ability of the brain to adapt in response to new experiences. In the late adulthood the brain starts to reduce of brain weight, loss of gray matter, decline in the density of dendrites and slower synaptic speed, this are the main change in late adult brain. As the body is aging and many organs too, the brain also start to decreasing its function ability. for example; my grandmother tends to forgets easily new information such as something that she just said that she has to do, or recently
