Description: Using infants, aged 1-7 days, this film shows how neurologically advanced the newborn are. The film gives evidence that infants, once thought to be neurologically immature, are actually vital, responsive, reactive human beings. Changes in the old theories could lead to newer methods of infant assessment and earlier detection of mental disorder. Parents can also benefit in knowing how to help their new baby develop its neurological capabilities to the fullest
