The dendrites and synaptic connections multiply, accounting for much of the brain's growth in weight and permitting the emergence of new perceptual and motor abilities, in the third trimester of a pregnancy. Also, the dendrites and synaptic connections multiply, accounting for much of the brain's growth in weight and permitting the emergence of new perceptual and motor abilities, in the first 2 years after the child is born.
