New borns

When kids take birth, the number of brain cells they get remains constant throughout the life... its just the brain cells grow big but the number doesn't change... whereas the remaining organs have some number of respective cells which in future undergo mitosis to give rise to more number of cells. This is the reason for kids having head size relatively larger compared to an adult.
