Neurodevelopment study neuroscience and biology basics to describes the mechanisms
by which nervous systems grows and connect from embryonic development and throughout life.
Neurodevelopmental processes starts from stem cell that grows to axons and neurons
which are finally thought to underlie learning and memory.
The life gives experiences and events that produce neural activity and sensory experience.
This events will create new synapses, as well as synaptic plasticity,
which is responsible for the connection of the neural circuits.
Neurodevelopment is a training process that enhances the brain performance
just like exercising keeps the body in healthy condition. A brain retraing program can
enhance mental fitness which promotes longevity, health, and peak performance.
Neurodevelopment allows us the ability to maximize and use our intellectual, physical, and emotional strengths simultaneously.
It accelerates the brain power in every single daily tasks such as talking, working, studying, and sports become easier to do and handle.
Neurodevelopment also study the relationships that exist between the
development of the nervous system and human conduct and behaviour
both in normal and pathological conditions.
A qEEG is a brain map used for neurodevelopment evaluation and gives clear picture of how the individual's brain is working in order to to increase its natural capacity by training specific neuropathways.
Neurological imbalances dectectes in the brain processing must be corrected trhought exercises and neurotherapy techniques.
Humans misuse our brain potential but it can be increased to experience more creativity, watching less TV and having better grades.

Effects and Environmental Factors |
|---|
What are neurodevelopmental effects? Impacts on the
brain and nervous system which can affect physiological
and cognitive development and can result in mental
retardation, motor disabilities, behavioral disorders,
learning impairment, delayed motor development, and
sensory defects.
Why are we concerned? Damage to the brain or
nervous system in utero or during childhood can result in
life-long disabilities. Exposures to some environmental
toxins are known to cause permanent damage to a child's
nervous system.
What causes these effects? Known or suspected
causes of brain and nervous system disorders are exposure
to chemicals and heavy metals including pesticides, lead,
methylmercury, therapeutic drugs and food additives.
Other chemical classes suspected of developmental
neurotoxicity include antimitotics, polyhalogenated
hydrocarbons, psychoactive drugs, solvents and vitamins.
How large is the problem? Four to eight percent of
children born in the U.S. each year exhibit anatomical
and/or functional deficits relating to brain and nervous
system injury. An estimated one out of ten school-age
children suffer from some type of functional deficit.
Who is at risk? The fetus, the infant and the
child are especially vulnerable because their developing
nervous system is more sensitive to toxins, such as lead
and certain solvents and insecticides. Adults, with more
developed nervous systems, are not as vulnerable to harm
when exposed to many substances posing a risk to
children.
How do we identify and study suspected neurotoxins and
their risk to children? Animal model studies can be
used to help predict human outcomes of exposure. The
nature and extent of neurotoxic effects are often
dependent on the timing of exposure. One of the periods
when a human is most vulnerable to neurodvelopmental
damage is organogenesis, the period in fetal development
when many organ systems are formed. Organogenesis in the
human is considered to occur from day 20 to day 55 of
gestation; in comparison, organogenesis in the mouse is
from day 7 to day 16. Thus, when studying the impacts of
exposure to developing organs, the time and duration of
exposure in the animal model must match the window of
exposure for human development.
Unfortunately, most studies designed to determine the
effects of exposure to a chemical to humans are not
conducted on pregnant or young animals, but on mature
adults.
