The human brain is a complex organ comprising billions of interconnected neurons, which enables interaction with both physical and social environments. Neural dynamics the whole go far beyond just sum its individual elements; property known as "synergy". Previously it has been shown that synergy crucial for many functions cognition, however, remains unknown how when large number discrete neurons evolve into unified system able to support synergistic interactions. Here we analyzed high-density electroencephalography data from late fetal period one month after term age. We found transitions redundancy-dominated synergy-dominated around birth. Frontal regions lead emergence scaffold comprised overlapping subsystems, while integration sensory areas developed gradually, occipital central regions. Strikingly, early developmental trajectories were modulated by environmental enrichment associated enhanced mother-infant interactions, level near equivalent age was later neurocognitive development.
