This observation is now backed by neuroscience, which has identified how&nbsp;the brain develops over that period and has created a system for measuring learning gaps. Such research has confirmed that building the brain is just as important as feeding the body to produce healthy, intelligent, productive, and resilient adults.
如今，这一发现获得了神经科学的支持。神经科学研究了这段时期大脑如何发育，并开发了一套测量学习差距的系统。这项研究确认，对于形成健康、聪慧、有创造力、有韧劲的成年人来说，构筑大脑和喂养身体一样重要。
