Thank you mam for explaining such a complicated topic so simply that even a layman can understand. Really well balanced explanation.🙏👍

[salehuddin]

Excellent talk! Precise, comprehensive and simplified. Thank you Dr Susan!

I’m studying neurology and I’m hoping and praying that this answers the current questions I have in my mind

[ratha]

Im here cause I may have taken acid and shrooms before I found out I was pregnant and I just had my baby and she is ahead of where she should be for her age and I'm just a lil shook cause I honestly didn't expect my baby to come out like this

[misstaveras]

The fact that you CAnT distinguish at a young age with an MRI if a child has a particular disability give me a feeling that with dedication and the right therapy approach you can help to slow down the damage.

Thank you Dr. Susan. Comprehensive and clear. Enjoyed it and learn a lot.

Excellent presentation that explains how environmental circumstances affect brain development and brain health.

[moonlightfanta]

This is extremely helpful, thank you so much!! The graphics on this presentation are phenomenal as well

[swatjoshi]

Thank you Mam
This lecture is so awesome

Fully development of brain starts in pregnancy of proper nutrition- my opinion

[siobhanhoward]

This was a fantastic watch, thank you for the lesson!

[arnediegenbach]

Thanks, very interesting. I’m making a digital baby brain simulation and your information is helpful. Hope to see more!

Spend more time hearing what we are going to learn than actually covering the information good job

[doctorgenerous]

"That's why teens are...the way they are..." (rolls eyes). HAHAHAHAHA! I love when humor and science collide - it's absolute brilliance!

[thesundancekid]

very informative and super well explained, thank you!

[jonathanjollimore]

Whatever it is the stuff you learn early sticks with yea like glue to point I don't even have thing about it consciously to execute it at all

[blngmz]

Amazing lesson! I was so inspired by how it was presented and the information was excellent.
Thank You,

Thank you Professor Bookheimer for the detailed video on brain development. VERY informative.

Q: Can exposure to natural chemicals like pheromones affect fetal brain development?

Q: Aren't pheromones created by nature to chemically target the human brain? Does the human brain communicate biophysically with other human brains using pheromones as a kind of bio-language that supersedes vocal language? (Does maternal immunity tie into this as well?)

Q: Is the need to seek out social experiences in teens a survival tactic? It seems logical to assume that young people who failed to get along with their indigenous community were less likely to survive to pass on their genes.

Q: Since America has eradicated community in favor of corporations, as opposed to Europe and third world countries, doesn't this put American teens more at risk?

Thanks in advance.

I theorize skill development can actually be better accomplished & established during the sensitive periods of an individual's development.

By establishing a stronger neural network pertinent to a particular skill through repeated stimulation of the brain areas associated with the skill, the child will be able to retain & devote areas of the brain for the desired skill.

I also hypothesize that personality is largely developed by the stimulation of neural pathways during childhood, rather than genetics, such as by fear, desire, & repetition as prompted by one's social, parental, & otherwise educational/conditioning environments.

Found the video very informative and easy to follow. Thank you.
