Content: The forebrain further develop into left and right cerebral hemispheres of the brain. The nerve cells required for the processing of all the senses are also developing rapidly. This is the stage where your baby can hear you. Fetal Brain Development Week 20
Nerve cells at this stage make complex connections and sensory perception with the brain and the entire body. This development carries on until the age of 5 or 6. Fetal Brain Development Week 21
Rapid growth and development of the fetus slows down in this week. The organs, especially the heart is getting stronger, and fat is getting accumulated in the baby’s muscles. Fetal Brain Development Week 22
As the brain is understanding complex sensory perceptions, the fetus becomes capable of distinguishing between different sounds. Fetal Brain Development Week 23
All the nerve cells that so far had formed and developed independently, begin to join to form a complete nervous system. This is the age where the fetus can respond to aversive stimuli.
