The brain is no longer considered as "a black box".
Science has advanced a lot in the knowledge of the functions of the organ with almost unlimited powers that we call the brain.
Science is currently working on mapping the functions of the approximately 100 million cells that compose it.
Much remains to be done, but we already know important things about the functioning of the human brain.
In fact, all material development of individuals and nations are acquired, earned, and maintained with the effective use of the powers of the brain.
It is the learning and utilization of the unlimited powers of the brain that enable nations to explore, advance and develop their citizens.
Firstly, all of these nations pay special attention to prenatal education and pregnancy.
Why do they do it?
Among other reasons, because there is a new life growing in the mother's womb and special attention must be paid to the brain of that new human being.
Secondly, these nations invest enormous resources in postnatal education and preschool enrichment.
Why do they do it?
Because science already knows that brain development between 0 and 5 years of age has "doors of opportunities" that must be taken advantage of before they are closed forever.
If you have visited developed countries, all you observe, including people, are brains that received special attention and investment of resources in the critical stages of brain development of these citizens of developed countries.
And all these developed countries have coordinated these efforts by completing a constant measurement of the IQ (intelligence quotient) of children throughout the process of their schooling.
The special attention and investment in the brains of citizens mark the differences between the nations of the globe.
The contrary arguments are pure sophisms that do not support the rigor of the bio-psycho-social sciences.
