A few noteworthy “critical windows” for early mind development (brain is such a mad lab word, you know? I like mind, better).
- Vision. Actively begin to sprout connections between 2 to 4 months and complete their basic wiring by about 8 months
- Phonemes and language. Open through12 months
- Music. Closes around 10 years old and is closely related to the circuits required for math and logic
- Empathy. Narrows around 18 months
