Brain Development
by Karen DeBord, PhD
Brain power,
brainstorming,
brain scientist,
brain food....
many of these terms are commonly used, but do you really know the facts about that mass of electronic power on your shoulders?
Summary
The power of the brain is very interconnected. In early years, children learn symbols to understand meanings. For example, outstretched arms may mean a toddler wants "up," or hugs may be a symbol of love and security. But over time, these key elements found in the emotional centers of the brain begin to organize responses to things that happen. Over time, life experiences combine to form our understanding of abstract concepts, such as justice, pride, forgiveness, anger, and security. Adults play a critical role in the lives of children. Helping children organize their world takes time, patience, and warmth, but these efforts form the building blocks to positive, human interactions.

Inside the Brain: An Interactive Tour
Heres a site designed for alzhiemer patients but I thought everyone might like it ..it shows how the brain works:
Taking the tour: There are 16 interactive slides. Move forward or back one slide at a time by clicking on the arrows. You can also jump to any slide by clicking on its number at the top of each page.
As you view each slide, roll your mouse over any colored text that appears on each page to highlight special features of each image.
