teratogens exmaples
diseases
pollutants
radiation

medicinal drugs
social and behavioral factors
thalidomide
pregnancy med that fucked up the babies limbs
factors for risk
timing
dosage
genes
critical period
time of great susceptibility to a substance
timing of exposure to teratogone
will effect what aspect is impacted
threshold effect
low levels good
hi levels bad
dose effects can be
additive
genetic vulnerability
predisposed to be more/less sensitive to something
dizyogotic (fraternal) twin susceptibility
susceptibility is diff
genetic vulnerability can vary by
nations or even regions
prolonged growth promotes
learning
how we develop in the womb
cephalcaudal and proximodistal (head to tail)
head develop first
muscle and endurance associated with
the sexes
male grow muscle faster
brain weight at birth
25% of bw
brain weight at 2 years
75%
weight gain for frontal lobe years
3-6years
weight gain for temporal and parietal
6-13 years
prefrontal development years
7-30 years
prefrontal needs what to develop
life experience
physical brain develops from the
inside out
how brain develops
cortex thickens
myelin increases (insulation, makes thots move fast)
folds deepen
inner structures of brain
most primitive
i think most essental stuff like eating sleeping stuff
