One of the conditions that determines when human babies a(cid:396)e (cid:271)o(cid:396)(cid:374) is the a(cid:271)ilit(cid:455) of the i(cid:374)fa(cid:374)t"s head to fit through the birth canal. In turn, this imposes limits on the extent of development of the human brain before birth. As a result, when human babies are born the brain is far from mature. Unlike some other species, humans must go through an extended period of dependence. During this period which begins with infancy in the postnatal period adult humans can observe the development of the child. Nerve cells (neurons) consist of three principal parts: soma (cell body, dendrites (for receiving input, axon (for transmission)
