Becker, P.T., Grunwald, P.C., & Brazy, J.E. (1999). Motor organization in very low birth weight infants during caregiving: Effects of a developmental intervention. Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, 20(5), 344 – 352. A study of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants demonstrated that using an individualized, developmentally supportive approach to handling the newborn rather than the traditional task-oriented approach resulted in fewer disorganized and more organized motor movements. Since motor development plays a role in perceptual and cognitive development, the positive effects of developmental handling can potentially reduce the prevalence of minor motor impairments in VLBW infants.

Brain Development: The Connection Between Neurobiology and Experience
Current research in brain development is revealing connections between early environmental experiences and neurobiological development. The formation of neural circuitry is driven by both genetic factors and experience. Genetic signals provide the neurological materials to create a mature brain. These are the biological preparations for the brain to incorporate sensory information. Environmenta...
متن کاملVisual activity and cortical rewiring: activity-dependent plasticity of cortical networks.
The mammalian cortex is organized anatomically into discrete areas, which receive, process, and transmit neural signals along functional pathways. These pathways form a system of complex networks that wire up through development and refine their connections into adulthood. Understanding the processes of cortical-pathway formation, maintenance, and experience-dependent plasticity has been among ...
متن کاملAdolescent brain maturation, the endogenous cannabinoid system and the neurobiology of cannabis-induced schizophrenia.
Cannabis use during adolescence increases the risk of developing psychotic disorders later in life. However, the neurobiological processes underlying this relationship are unknown. This review reports the results of a literature search comprising various neurobiological disciplines, ultimately converging into a model that might explain the neurobiology of cannabis-induced schizophrenia. The art...
