| Description: Degree of myelination is indicated by the extent and coloration of fibers (red = thicker myelin). Myelination begins first in lower and deeper regions of the brain, such as the brain stem and cerebellum, and spreads upward and outward to the occipital and parietal lobes by 5 to 6 months and the temporal and frontal lobes by 8 to 9 months of age.
