Human brain growth, “continued Attila, from three trimesters of pregnancy until the baby was three years. Therefore, recommends that parents regularly monitor the size of the circumference of the head of the child until the age of three years.
This growth of the brain is a complicated process that is genetically programmed, and follow a regular sequence according to chronological age. ”If the growth process of the higher brain, for example due to a disease that attacks brain cells, brain development can not be repeated again,” he said.
Most of the infant brain growth occurs in the first three years of life.When the weight of a newborn baby’s brain 350 grams. Then, the peso rose to 1,000 grams, at the age of one year and 1,200 grams per child two years old.
