Marian C. Diamond, Ph.D., was hoogleraar anatomie aan de Universiteit van Californië in Berkeley. Haar onderzoek richtte zich op de effecten van omgeving en hormonen op het voorbrein, met name onderzoek naar structurele veranderingen in de hersenschors veroorzaakt door een verrijkte omgeving en de lateralisatie ervan beïnvloed door geslachtshormonen. Diamond's werk belichtte de plasticiteit van de hersenen en het vermogen ervan om op externe prikkels te reageren.

Cutting edge scientific research has shown that exposure to the right kind of environment during the first years of life actually affects the physical structure of a child's brain, vastly increasing the number of neuron branches—the "magic trees of the mind"—that help us to learn, think, and remember. At each stage of development, the brain's ability to gain new skills and process information is refined.As a leading researcher at the University of California at Berkeley, Marion Diamond has been a pioneer in this field of research. Now, Diamond and award-winning science writer Janet Hopson present a comprehensive enrichment program designed to help parents prepare their children for a lifetime of learning.
