As a research neuroscientist, Lise Eliot has made the study of the human brain her life`s work. But it wasn`t until she was pregnant with her first child that she became intrigued with the study of brain development. She wanted to know precisely how the baby`s brain is formed, and when and how each sense, skill, and cognitive ability is developed. And just as important, she was interested in finding out how her role as a nurturer can affect this complex process. How much of her baby`s development is genetically ordained--and how much is determined by environment? Is there anything parents can do to make their babies` brains work better--to help them become smarter, happier people? Drawing upon the exploding research in this field as well as the stories of real children, What`s Going On in There? is a lively and thought-provoking book that charts the brain`s development from conception through the critical first five years. In examining the many factors that play crucial roles in that process, What`s Going On in There? explores the evolution of the senses, motor skills, social and emotional behaviors, and mental functions such as attention, language, memory, reasoning, and intelligence
