Age Quote by Ron Currie Jr

“When you're a child - and my understanding of it is very basic - but when you're a very young child, the stimuli around you prompt your brain to form synapses. Once they're there, they're there, but if they don't form by a certain age, they're not going to.” quote by Ron Currie Jr
