Presentation Transcript

  1. Food for thought • How does brain development progress after birth? • Does brain development stop after infancy? Age 3? Adolescence? • How do brain systems get built up?

  2. Post-natal Brain Development • Synaptogenesis

  3. Post-natal Brain Development • Synaptogenesis • Synapse overproduction

  4. Post-natal Brain Development • Synaptogenesis • Synapse overproduction • Glucose utilization

  5. Post-natal Brain Development • Synaptogenesis • Synapse overproduction • Glucose utilization • What do these peaks and return to adult levels mean?

  6. Post-natal Brain Development • Synaptogenesis • Synapse overproduction • Glucose utilization • What do these peaks and return to adult levels mean? • Formation of networks

  7. Post-natal Brain Development • Synaptogenesis • Synapse overproduction • Glucose utilization • What do these peaks and return to adult levels mean? • Formation of networks • LTP

  8. Post-natal Brain Development • Synaptogenesis • Synapse overproduction • Glucose utilization • What do these peaks and return to adult levels mean? • Formation of networks • LTP • Network formation

  9. Post-natal Brain Development • Synaptogenesis • Synapse overproduction • Glucose utilization • What do these peaks and return to adult levels mean? • Formation of networks • LTP • Network formation • Hebbian synapses

  10. Myelination

  11. Myelination • Begins near term

  12. Myelination • Begins near term • Continues throughout childhood and maybe the lifespan

  13. Myelination • Begins near term • Continues throughout childhood and maybe the lifespan • Timing depends on area
