Child Brain Development from birth to 2 years of age

Period: Nov 6, 2004 to Jul 6, 2007

Neurulation, brain organizes itself into a three layer, spherical structure

Proliferation, cells start multiplying at a logarithmic rate so that the baby brain has more neurons than the adult brain

Cell migration, cells start to migrate to their final destination in spongebob's brain

Feb 1, 2005

Mylenation, axons of neurons get wrapped in fatty cells helping with Spongebob's neural activity and communication. This will last until Spongebob is about 2 years of age

Birth, Spongebob is born. Spongeborb currently has 200 billion brain cells, or neurons

Jul 6, 2005

Brain grown 1.7 grams and will continue to grow 1.7 grams a day during Spongebob's first year. 60% of the energy from Krabby Patties will be used for brain growth. This is why nutrition is vital for babies in their first year

Differentiation, growth of neural connections/synapses. These synapses are useful for the baby. For Spongebob, the synapses for his fry-cooking skills will grow during this phase. Spongebob will continue this growth until he is nearly 2 years old

Pruning, synapses that are no longer useful get eliminated. For Spongebob, simpler & less-complex synapses get eliminated. Process will continue until puberty.

Jul 6, 2007

Spongebob's brain has reached about 75% of his adult weight

Jul 6, 2007

Independce, Spongebob has become increasingly more independent and interested in new things like karate
