By 8 months, a baby's brain has 1,000 trillion nerve connections. By the age of ten, that number reduces to just 500 trillion, or even less, depending on the amount of stimulation provided. As the brain operates on a ‘use it or lose it’ basis, early experiences are the defining factor affecting the rate of reduction in nerve connections. Studies on neglected children, who had been deprived of physical and mental stimulation, found that parts of their brain were underdeveloped and 20-30% smaller than most children their age.
