Approximately one day lat-

brain begin emerging that will
later form the eyeballs. In this
sense, the eyes are outward ex-
tensions of the brain.
By the thirty-fifth day, the
brain’s cortex, regarded as the
center of conscious thought in a
human, can be seen with the
naked eye. The brain slowly
keeps growing, the beginning of
a process that will last for years.

brain is a quarter of that of an
adult. There is very definitely

Nine months after fertilization, most of the neurons that
will make up our brain have multiplied and become ready
to pass to the relevant area of the brain. When they reach
their target, each neuron sends out roots and begins es-
tablishing communication with neighboring neurons.
