Brain Development + Plasticity

• Brain Development and Plasticity Module: PS1005 is taught by Prof Tina Forster.
• Early Brain Development involves maturation of the brain, neuronal survival/selection, and vulnerability of the brain.
• Neuronal survival/selection in early brain development.
• Maturation of the brain involves the maturation of the brain's structures such as the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.
• Vulnerability of the brain involves fine-tuning through experiences and plasticity of cortical representations.
