What is the brain?

The brain happens to be the most important part of the body that controls the human nervous system, this organ does a lot of work for the body to function well.
There are millions of cells in the brain known as neurons and this neurons through electrical and chemical communication does a lot of work in thinking, learning and saving memory in the brain.
The brain has different regions like the cerebral cortex, cerebral cortex helps in the brain and body in reasoning, talking and solving problems, while the brainstem helps in heart rate, it helps the digestive system, and the limbic helps in emotions, motivation and memories.

The third aspect of child brain development is the Myelination.

According to Medline plus Myelin is an insulating layer, or sheath that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord. It is made up of protein and fatty substances, and this myelin sheath allows electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells. If myelin is damaged, these impulses slow down.source

So myelination is a very important development for every child to function well, and it continues from childhood to adulthood stage for a good neural network connection, and effective communication.

The sensory development is another important aspect of child brain development, important sensory system like vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell develops quickly when the baby is delivered.
