Instructional Video Catalog: Title Description Examine how the brain builds itself from conception through the first year of life. The mystery begins in the womb. Only four weeks into gestation the first brain cells, the neurons, are already forming at an astonishing rate: 500,000 every minute. Billions of brain cells will forge links with billions of other brain cells and eventually there will be trillions and trillions of connections between cells. Every cell will find its place; every link between cells will be carefully organized. How does it get this way? Neurobiologists Susan McConnell and Carla Shatz are working to find out, by studying how development is affected by the intricate relationship between genes and the environment.
