It said brain activity STARTS when I said it did.. isn't fully functional until LATER but STARTS when I said it did. And again, you waste our time on this and ignore the main point. So, we are done... I have asked 3 times for you to address the main point, you won't, we're done. Have a great day!if you would have bothered to read my post you would have noticed i addressed this
If you would have bothered to read your own link you would have noticed that it is saying exactly what i said.
"week 6 (usually around forty to forty-three days) does the first electrical brain activity begin to occur. This activity, however, is not coherent activity of the kind that underlies human consciousness, or even the coherent activity seen in a shrimp's nervous system. Just as neural activity is present in clinically brain-dead patients, early neural activity consists of unorganized neuron firing of a primitive kind. Neuronal activity by itself does not represent integrated behavior."
"The frontal and temporal poles of the brain are apparent during weeks 12 to 16, and the frontal pole ... By week 13 the fetus has begun to move. Around this time the corpus callosum, the massive collection of fibers (the axons of neurons) that allow for communication between the hemispheres, begins to develop, forming the infrastructure for the major part of the cross talk between the two sides of the brain. Yet the fetus is not a sentient, self-aware organism at this point; it is more like a sea slug, a writhing, reflex-bound hunk of sensory-motor processes that does not respond to anything in a directed, purposeful way. Laying down the infrastructure for a mature brain and possessing a mature brain are two very different states of being."
also from your link:
"at around week 23 the fetus can survive outside the womb, with medical support; also around this time the fetus can respond to aversive stimuli. Major synaptic growth continues until the third or fourth postnatal month. "
the thing about facts is that they remain facts even if you don't like them
