Question

One aspect of brain maturation that is associated with increases in the speed of neural impulses and improvements in information transmission is:

Answer 1

Answer:

This aspect is myelination.

Explanation:

• As the brain mature, the speed of nerve impulses and improvement in information transmission also increases.
• The speed of nerve impulse is mainly associated with the mylein sheath on the nerves.
• Nerves with mylein sheath conduct faster nerve impulses than non mylein sheath nerves.
• So the myelination is a process of forming a myelin sheath around a nerve to allow nerve impulses to move more quickly through saltatory conduction.

Answer 2

The answer is myelination. This involves the growth of myelin sheath around the axon or neurons, a biological process that occurs at a great pace in a child’s brain during child development after birth. The myelin sheath improves transmission of electrical impulses through a process called saltatory conduction (through hops).
