Exposure to radiation from cell phones during pregnancy affects the brain development of offspring, potentially leading to hyperactivity, one mouse study suggests.

A growing body of research indicates that the B2M - MHC I complex, which is present in all cells in the body except red blood cells and plasma cells, can act in the brain in ways not obviously related to immunity — guiding brain development, shaping nerve cell communication, and even affecting behavior.

Hormones regulate a lifelong reshaping of our neuronal pathways, programming a turnover and pruning of brain cells — a process that begins in the womb and continues to affect our intellectual, emotional and social development in adulthood.

DNA sequences were once thought to be identical from cell to cell, but it's increasingly understood that mutations can arise during brain development that affect only certain groups of brain cells.

This finding suggests that in human babies, factors that shape the microbiome — natural ones such as breastfeeding, or therapeutic, such as antibiotics — may affect the immune cells in the baby's brain and consequently the brain's development.

A region of the gene that produces the PACAP38 protein has held nearly constant, even in humans, presumably because the protein plays diverse roles in neuron communication and is essential for normal development of the cerebellum, affecting brain cell migration, for example.

By affecting the rate of cell differentiation and gene expression, thyroid hormones regulate the growth and migration of neurons, including synaptic development and myelin formation in specific brain regions.

Early Childhood Expert Says Science Shows Impact of Early Experiences on Brain Development Journal Star, January 15, 2013 «Children are born with a certain number of brain cells, but the neural circuitry develops dramatically in the first years of life — and experiences affect how those connections are made, said [Professor] Jack Shonkoff, director of Harvard's Center on the Developing Child.&rBrain Development Journal Star, January 15, 2013 «Children are born with a certain number of brain cells, but the neural circuitry develops dramatically in the first years of life — and experiences affect how those connections are made, said [Professor] Jack Shonkoff, director of Harvard's Center on the Developing Child.&rbrain cells, but the neural circuitry develops dramatically in the first years of life — and experiences affect how those connections are made, said [Professor] Jack Shonkoff, director of Harvard's Center on the Developing Child.»
