The findings show that some parts of the human brain may shrink in size during pregnancy, but become better connected. ... and colleagues analysed the pregnancy-related brain changes of a healthy ...
In early development (before birth and during the first few months), the brain undergoes more changes in size, shape and structure than at any other time in life. Improved understanding of cerebral development during this critical period is important for mapping normal growth, and for investigating mechanisms of injury associated with risk ...
A great deal of brain development happens during the fetal period in pregnancy and the progress happens rapidly in this stage. [11] Since there is such a large amount of growth occurring during this time-period in the child's life, there are a lot of outside factors in the environment that can affect this development. [11]
