  2. Development of the nervous system in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the_nervous...

    The development of the nervous system in humans, or neural development, or neurodevelopment involves the studies of embryology, developmental biology, and neuroscience.These describe the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which the complex nervous system forms in humans, develops during prenatal development, and continues to develop postnatally.

  3. Neural adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_adaptation

    Studies in children with early childhood brain injuries have shown that neural adaptations slowly occur after the injury. [28] Children with early injuries to the linguistics, spatial cognition and affective development areas of the brain showed deficits in those areas as compared to those without injury. Due to neural adaptations, however, by ...

  4. Development of the nervous system - Wikipedia

    Retinotopic map refinement occurs in downstream visual targets in the brain-the superior colliculus (SC) and dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). [58] Pharmacological disruption and mouse models lacking the β2 subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor has shown that the lack of spontaneous activity leads to marked defects in ...

  5. Synaptogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synaptogenesis

    Synaptogenesis is the formation of synapses between neurons in the nervous system.Although it occurs throughout a healthy person's lifespan, an explosion of synapse formation occurs during early brain development, known as exuberant synaptogenesis. [1]

  6. Multisensory integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisensory_integration

    Surrounded by multiple objects and receiving multiple sensory stimulations, the brain is faced with the decision of how to categorize the stimuli resulting from different objects or events in the physical world. The nervous system is thus responsible for whether to integrate or segregate certain groups of signals.

  7. Myelinogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myelinogenesis

    Myelinogenesis is the formation and development of myelin sheaths in the nervous system, typically initiated in late prenatal neurodevelopment and continuing throughout postnatal development. [1] Myelinogenesis continues throughout the lifespan to support learning and memory via neural circuit plasticity as well as remyelination following ...

  8. Evolution of nervous systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_nervous_systems

    The head segment contains the brain, also known as the supraesophageal ganglion. In the insect nervous system, the brain is anatomically divided into the protocerebrum, deutocerebrum, and tritocerebrum. Immediately behind the brain is the subesophageal ganglion, which is composed of three pairs of

  9. Evolution of the brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_the_brain

    Another example of extant organisms with the capacity to transmit electrical signals would be the glass sponge, a multicellular organism, which is capable of propagating electrical impulses without the presence of a nervous system. [7] Before the evolutionary development of the brain, nerve nets, the simplest form of a nervous system developed ...
