Brain development begins in the first trimester and continues to develop through the entire duration of the pregnancy.
Brain development is a complex protracted and adaptive process, starts are 3rd week of gestation and goes through all trimesters into the first 2 years of age at which time the brain is 80% of the adult size, it proceeds to develop into adolescence and it is fully developed by age 25.

Starts at 3 weeks, goes on until birth.
