Hypothesis

The pathways that are created prenatally are the beginning of the road map of life. The first route, from point A to point B, is critical. It must be familiar in the future (postnatally). One example is an adult that retains the ability to ride a bicycle that even after 20 years. This familiarity will promote a 'want to learn' habit in the brain functions.

Common in the human body is the concept of redundant systems. For example each person has two eyes, two kidneys, two lungs, and the list goes on. The development of secondary neural pathways in the brain is important also. Neural stimulation creates these primary and secondary pathways. These pathways also function as co-processors. Secondary routes are redundant in the event of failure, or slow down of the primary route. The speed and quantity of transfer of information, is limited by the neural connections that are established in the brain. The more connections made in the brain, or the stronger each connection is, will allow more information to be processed.

The brain is plastic. Learning new concepts stimulates new neural connections. An example is how recovering stroke victims will relearn how to walk and talk.

Developing the initial and redundant neural pathways in the baby’s brain may even provide a 'safety net' against trauma and disease in the brain. A 'stronger' brain will rebound faster and possibly better than a weaker one.

To increase your processing speed and for optimum results, it is best to start earlier rather than later. As an example in a two bulb light fixture, one should replace the first light bulb when it burns out rather than waiting until after the second light bulb burns out. If not, it may be difficult to even find the fixture after both bulbs are burnt out. As with neural connections, it is better to anticipate and prepare for complications than to wait until you can no longer help.

Establishing these initial pathways is the key to the secondary pathway development. The sooner the brain is stimulated (prenatal) then the easier, and more familiar, these secondary pathways will be established (postnatal).

These gains will be lifelong. The idea is to give the emerging neural pathways a helping hand.
