A baby's brain grows up to 3x the size in the first year. by Reagan Hettinger https://padlet.com/reagan_hettinger/ejviu2xkz82 Poster Presentation of Evidence & Reasoning en-us 2018-03-20 17:07:55 UTC 2025-11-24 22:50:59 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padletuploads.blob.core.windows.net/prod/91810442/4eab4ab0d7f4cb776574703dd4e24fd6/giraffe_icon.svg Evidence reagan_hettinger https://padlet.com/reagan_hettinger/ejviu2xkz82/wish/244156220 much of the growth occurs in a part of the brain called cerebellum. ]]> 2018-03-20 17:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/reagan_hettinger/ejviu2xkz82/wish/244156220 Evidence claims that when a newborn child has a strong connection with the parents at birth their brain development will increase. Studies show that with different senses like touch and positive interactions that the child's brain will develop much faster and help them learn as they get older. https://padlet.com/reagan_hettinger/ejviu2xkz82/wish/244161914 2018-03-20 17:19:17 UTC https://padlet.com/reagan_hettinger/ejviu2xkz82/wish/244161914 Evidence reagan_hettinger https://padlet.com/reagan_hettinger/ejviu2xkz82/wish/244164150 the brain continues to grow through glial cells. ]]> 2018-03-20 17:22:27 UTC https://padlet.com/reagan_hettinger/ejviu2xkz82/wish/244164150 Evidence reagan_hettinger https://padlet.com/reagan_hettinger/ejviu2xkz82/wish/244165799 Glia cells continues to divide and multiply.
