Have you ever wondered how a baby’s nervous system develops before birth? It begins remarkably early in pregnancy, laying the foundation for the brain, spinal cord, and nerves that will eventually help the baby move, feel, learn, and respond to the world. During the early weeks of development, a structure called the neural tube forms and later develops into the brain and spinal cord. As pregnancy progresses, the brain grows rapidly, nerve cells multiply and migrate, and connections begin forming throughout the developing nervous system. Over the following months, these connections become increasingly organized. The developing nervous system begins coordinating movements and other functions, while the brain continues maturing well beyond birth. �� It’s an extraordinary biological process: from a tiny group of developing cells to a complex network that helps control nearly everything the human body does. The human nervous system begins its journey long before a baby takes its first breath. �#everyone
