Neurons in a newborn's brain:
A)are densely spaced with complex connections.
B)are widely spaced,but immediately begin to form connections.
C)touch one another,end to end.
D)are twice as numerous as glial cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons in a newborn's brain are widely spaced initially but quickly begin to form connections with other neurons. It takes time for the brain to develop complex neural networks and for neurons to become densely spaced with multiple connections.

Note: Option A could be true for adult brains but not necessarily for newborn brains. Option C is also incorrect as neurons do not touch each other directly. Option D is also incorrect as glial cells outnumber neurons in the brain.
