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.»
