His mother's unfertilized egg and her fathers sperm fused together in Conception

Zygote (BOLD)

The fertilized egg, it enters a 2-week period of rapid cell division and develops into an embryo.

# data[].attributes.body
Tom transitioned from being a zygote to an embryo,

a developing human organism from about two weeks after fertilizations through the second month.

# data[].attributes.body
Tom not only has a nice place to live but also gets his nutrients through the placenta, the zygote's outer cells that transfer nutrients and oxygen to the embryo.

The zygote’s outer cells; the life-link that transfers nutrients and oxygen from the mother to the embryo.

# data[].attributes.body
Tom transgressed from being an embryo to being a fetus, the developing human organism from nine weeks after conception to birth.

# data[].attributes.body
Teratogens, agents such as chemicals and viruses that can reach a developing embryo or fetus during prenatal developement that can cause harm, were all avoided and top is healthy!

When mothers drink alcohol during pregnancy, Fetal Alcohol

Syndrome (FAS) can occur. This is when physical and cognitive abornmailities in children including possible head and abnormal facial features occur as a direct result of the mother's drinking.

Described the mental experience of a newborn as “blooming, buzzing, confusion” which means Tom will not initially experience the world like adults do

Tom is now into his childhood and has matured

Tom is now into his childhood and has matured

# data[].attributes.body
Maturation is the biological growth in behavior, uninfluenced be experience. As Tom has gotten older, he has been able to make better decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout Toms life, his neural networks have grown as his neural hardware and cognitive softwares work together. Along with this, Tom's ability to mature is due to his frontal lobes as they enable rational planning from ages 3-6.

# data[].attributes.body
Within the Frontal Lobes and Toms ability to mature comes from his association areas which include processes such as thinking, memory, and language. Tom's association areas are the last cortical areas to develop.

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout infancy and childhood, Tom will go through something called the Pruning Process. This is a use-it-or-lose-it process that will shut down unused links within your memory, thinking, etc. processes. Due to this, it will strengthen other areas.

# data[].attributes.body
Tom with many other infants will start crawling before they learn to walk. This isn't because they just want to crawl, crawling is the process before walking. Tom is maturing and learning about life and what is included.

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of childhood and infancy has to do with maturing and the readiness to learn. The cerebellum is part of that process as the rapid development throughout the cerebellum enables Tom's readiness to learn how to walk at the age of 1.

# data[].attributes.body
Many infants and children will remember their early years vaguely but not exactly to the point. This is because of infantile amnesia. Tom, just like many others will not remember everything and details from before 3 years old.

# data[].attributes.body
Tom, sleeping in a crib for the first couple years of his life, might develop something known as Mobile Memory. With this, children will connection their motion with an effect of it. For example, if Tom were to kick his legs while laying down and the mobile crib will move. Tom will only make the connection between his kicking and the crib which is the original experiment rather than anything else.

Adolescence is the transition period from childhood to adulthood, extending from puberty to independence

# data[].attributes.body
He can help explain why Tom is the way he is. One of the first psychologists to describe adolescence

# data[].attributes.body
Puberty is the time where he matures sexually. He will be growing more body hair and get a deeper voice along with other things.

# data[].attributes.body
every teenager experiences this. Tom is one of those teenagers. selective pruning is when the brain eliminates extra synapses

# data[].attributes.body
Tom has myelin like everyone else. Myelin is fatty tissue that forms around axons and speeds neurotransmission

# data[].attributes.body
Tom's frontal lobeb hasn't fully matured so he might make some risky judgments like vaping. maturation lags behind emotional limbic system Continue to mature until age 25

# data[].attributes.body
Tom started to vape ! :( examples of thrill seekers are smoking and having sex at a young age. Tom might not be able to control impulses. Some teenagers like the risk.

# data[].attributes.body
Tom will never have to experience this because it's unconstitutional so even if he does make mistakes his consequences won't be as severe. Teens brain immaturity in areas that bear upon adolescent decision making\Less guilty by reasons of adolescence  /Juvenile death penalties unconstitutional
