C) self-righting
D) head-sparing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Breast-feeding has been shown to reduce the risk of asthma in children. Pruning is a term used in neuroscience to describe the process of removing unnecessary synapses from the brain during development. Self-righting refers to the ability to return to an upright position after being tipped over, and head-sparing refers to the body's prioritization of blood flow to the brain in times of stress or malnourishment. While breast-feeding may have some positive effects on brain development and potentially on head-sparing, neither of these are as well-established as the reduction in asthma risk.
