infant brain
Baby's developing organ
The brain of a human in the first year of life, characterized by rapid development and neural plasticity.
The term appears in medical and developmental contexts: infant brain development, damage to the infant brain.
Informally, calling something an infant brain suggests immaturity or underdeveloped thinking: My infant brain couldn't process what was happening.
