-
connections between neurons grow like crazy and they--
-
and this process of synaptic growth
-
where there are the connections across different synapses
-
peaks at about two years.
-
Finally, remember myelination,
-
where you sort of get this fatty sheath
-
over your neuron
-
to make it more effective?
-
That also happens through development,
-
and in fact, it goes through development
-
and even teenagers are not fully myelinated.
-
In particular, they're not fully myelinated in their frontal lobes.
