Brain Story Certification real exam verified
questions & answers graded A+ | 100% |2024
Latest 01 The brain begins as an embryonic structure called the
neural tube, shortly after conception it is formed in neurulation, all areas of the brain develop from here
02 The brain is considered mature around what age
25, the brain is not mature until our mid-twenties because the prefrontal cortex (which enables executive function abilities) continues to develop until this time
03 What is the sequence in which we learn our abilities
sensory, motor, emotional skills, executive function skills (begin in early childhood but their sensitive period of development continues into early adulthood)1 04 What stages of development are the most plastic and the least
early childhood, late childhood, adolescence, adulthood, the brain becomes progressively less plastic with age
05 The age at which a human has the most connections between neurons is
3, as the brain ages, unused connections are pruned away and active connections are strengthened
06 How do experiences shape the developing brain
they influence which neural connections are strengthened or pruned, they help us practice our skills
07 At what stage of development do negative experiences influence the architecture of the developing brain
at any stage of development, which neural circuits will be affected depends on when the negative experience occurs
08 Most traits and diseases in humans are derived from
the interaction between genes and environmental influences
09 What is an example of an epigenetic effect
an environmental factor modifies the area surrounding a gene such that expression decreases
10 Is manual dexterity related to the quality of parental care a child receives
no
