10-Minute Neuroscience: Brain Development Across the Lifespan
In this video, I explain how the brain changes across the lifespan, from early neural development to older adulthood. I cover the formation of the neural tube and its transformation into the nervous system, the maturation of the brain during adolescence and how it may contribute to stereotypical teenage behavior, and age-related brain changes and their effects on cognition. Key points: 00:00 Introduction 00:22 Development of the neural tube 2:33 Primary and secondary brain vesicles 4:42 Neurogenesis 5:15 Cell migration 5:41 Differentiation 6:19 Synaptogenesis 6:58 Neuronal cell death/apoptosis 7:35 Synaptic rearrangement 8:33 Adolescence 10:22 The aging brain 🧠 Take your learning further with my free, self-paced Introduction to Neuroscience course featuring my videos, articles, and hundreds of quiz questions: https://neuroscientificallychallenged...
