Child Abuse and Its Effects on the Child’s Ability to Form Attachments The moment that a child is conceived begins a lifelong journey of attachment. Studies have shown that embryos begin bonding in the womb when they feel movement, hear voices, and through the stimulation of smell and taste. This attachment with a caregiver grows even stronger when the child is born and as they move into childhood develops further into other relationships. The intensity associated with the importance of this development

function in the brain. These major divisions or structures are very important and can often be described or compared to neighborhoods or districts due to how they have different locations in the same area. The early development of the brain begins explaining the five major divisions and what each one does in particular. In the vertebrate embryo, the tissue that eventually develops into the CNS is recognizable as a fluid-filled tube. The first indications of the developing brain are three swellings

neurotransmitters in the brain that alleviate pain, both physical and mental. Additionally, it is one of the few ways scientists have found to generate new neurons. Much of the research done in this area has focused on running, but all types of aerobic exercise provide benefits. Although the exact nature of these benefits is still being determined, enough research has been done to provide even skeptics with a motivation to take up exercise. Exercise exerts its effects on the brain through several mechanisms

The Brain The brain weighs about three pounds and involves about 10 million neurons ("Major Structures of the Brain", 2008). Cells that support the brain system are known as Glial cells. The brain consists of three major divisions known as the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain ("Major Structures of The Brain", 2008). The neurons in the brain process information and are the nervous systems transmitting device. Most neurons are broken down into four structures: o The Soma – the cell body
