Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While some aspects of brain specialization are present at birth, such as the ability to recognize faces, much of the brain's specialization continues to develop through childhood and adolescence, and even into adulthood. This is due to processes such as myelination, pruning of unused neurons, and the strengthening of connections between neurons through experience and learning. Therefore, option C is the best choice.
