Research shows that the growth of our babies brains (DNA synthesis) happen rapidly during the first few years of life, along with nerve growth factors which is a hormone that facilitates development And how are both of these promoted?

To explain a bit further, what really happens is that when your baby's body tries to process and expel the excess water, it also releases the sodium vital to brain and nerves activity along with the water.

The growth in our babies brains happens incredibly quickly during the first few years of life, along with nerve growth factors including a hormone that facilitates development.

Faced with the complexity of the brain, neuroscience focused on questions that could be subdivided into manageable units: How we see, how we move, how nerve cells work.

Their brains differed in the activity of over a hundred genes that provide cells with energy, influence chemical communications in the brain and strengthen the connection between nerve cells.

Neuroscience focused on the nuts and bolts of the brain: how nerve cells communicate with electrical and chemical pulses, how brains learn and calculate and remember.

So each nerve spike inherently contains more information — and your brain can get away with firing fewer of those energy - expensive spikes.
