Remember the video that said the child's brain makes new neural connections at a rate of 700-1,000 per second? https://youtu.be/_LRjK1pi03Q

The Harvard Center on the Developing Child just updated their data: From birth, a child's brain makes new neural connections at a rate of 1 Million per second. Mind blowing!!! 

"The number "more than 1 million new neural connections per second" updates an earlier estimate of 700-1,000 new connections (which still appears in some of the Center's printed publications, but as of April 2017 has been updated online and in all PDFs). All of these numbers are estimates, calculated in a variety of different ways, but we are making this change in our materials after a careful review of additional data that were called to our attention. The Center is deeply committed to a rigorous process of continuous refinement of what we know and an ongoing pledge to update that knowledge as additional data become available."

Thank you Ellen Bauer, Tracy Greenwald and Liz George for sharing these new updates with our community!
