Brain Testing Research on Infants
Neuroscience research in infants is quite interesting and is becoming a more widespread area of research. This research is becoming more and more prevalent due to the fact that an infant’s brain is a fascinating area of study. The first few months of life for an infant are all about soaking up their surroundings and their brain acts like a sponge absorbing any and all information and sensory details they can get. A recent Harvard study looked at the science of early childhood development and results found that brains develop over time and that part of the basic structure of the brain is developed even before birth. This study ties is really well to Dr. Reynolds talk on infant facial and social recognition. For this social and facial recognition to occur and be consistent, there has to be research done on the capacity and structure of the infant brain and how processing can be significantly different in those first few months or even years of life. The Harvard study also mentioned that the brain is more plastic or flexible in early stages and years of life making it crucial for facial recognition and other cognitive skills to be learned in those early stages of an infant’s life. All in all, this scientific finding relates really well to the research done by Reynolds, Dixon and etc. The area of study and results compliment each other really well promising a wider array of studies to come in the future.
