As children grow older, many of their neurons begin to transmit messages more rapidly than they did in the early years of life, thanks to:
A)Increasing dominance of one brain hemisphere over the other
B)Synaptogenesis
C)Myelination
D)Greater variety of neurotransmitters

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This process continues throughout childhood and into early adulthood, contributing to the increased speed of neural communication as children age.
