In this podcast series, neuroscience students Ivy Ladines and Vezi Ndlovu from the University of Lethbridge explore how children’s brains develop and why play is such a vital part of that process. They unpack how early experiences, relationships, and everyday interactions shape brain development, highlighting the role of neuroplasticity in the early years. The series also examines how social and environmental factors—such as prenatal stress, caregiving, and neglect—can influence development.
