D) can negatively impact both cerebral organization and brain size.

Question

Environmental deprivation can negatively impact both cerebral organization and brain size. Studies have shown that children who have experienced neglect or a lack of stimulation may have smaller brain volumes and changes in neural pathways. This can lead to cognitive and behavioral deficits that may persist into adulthood. However, it is important to note that the brain has the ability to reorganize and adapt (brain plasticity) in response to new experiences and stimulation.
