Neuroplasticity in children.

Research in the field of neurosciences and genetics has given us great insight into the understanding of learning and behavior and changes in the brain in response to experience. It is seen that brain is dynamically changing throughout life and is capable of learning at any time. Critical periods of neuroplasticity for various streams of development are also better understood. Technological advances in non invasive imaging techniques and advances in molecular genetics have helped us understand the basis of many developmental disorders which may help in planning effective intervention strategies.
