The
baby has become sensitive and responds
to touch. All five major areas of the
adult brain are present. Brain function,
as measured by EEG waves, has been recorded
as early as 40 days. Here the marvellous
control center sends out messages to the
mother and the baby. The head takes up
about one third of the body's total volume
but will begin to become more proportionate
to the rest of the body as the baby grows
older.
