From birth, the infant brain cells develop rapidly, making connections that can shape all of the life experiences. The initial years are crucial. When neurons receive visual, auditory or gustatory stimuli, they send messages that generate new connections with surrounding cells. The signals are sent through synapse by means of a complex process.

What determines the formation of a person synapse and neural networks? One main factor is believed to be the undivided attention and mental effort forced by the person. First of all let's know about the brain and neurons.

Human Brain 

At birth the infant brain contains billions of neurons. That is about as many nerve cells as there are stars in the entire Galaxy! Then as the infant receives messages from various senses, the cerebral cortex starts its dynamic development.

Neurons 

Each neuron in the brain can be connected with thousands of other neurons and is capable of receiving more than thousands signals per second. The signals travel through the nervous system at a speed of 360 kilometres per hour. Thanks to this complex network, the brain is capable of remembering, calculating, deciding, thinking, etc. Dendrites are the branches through which a neuron receives and send messages. With this system each neuron can be stimulated by thousands of other neurons, which in turn can stimulate other neurons and so on.

LEARNING

Each child has his or her own intellectual filter, the quality of the filter depends on individual undivided attention and on how the child responds to a vast variety of stimuli.

RESPIRATION 

Respiration is usually an involuntary, automatic action that allows us to take in the oxygen we need from the air and exhale carbon dioxide. These gases are exchanged in the pulmonary alveoli.

A WORLD OF SENSATIONS

The tongue recognizes four tastes (sweet, salty, sour and bitter), and the nasal fossas contain cells that have more than million filaments, called cilia, which are capable of detecting thousands of odours or smell.

THE SENSE OF TOUCH

It is observed predominantly in the fingers and hands. The information is transmitted along nerves, which carry impulses to the brain and serve to detect sensations such as cold, heat, pressure and pain.

SKIN 

The skin is one of the most important organs of the body. It contains approximately five million tiny nerve endings that transmit various sensations.

Human body is so complex but very interesting. Isn't it? Thank you for reading and supporting!
