Challenging a long-standing assumption regarding the adult brain, recent research has demonstrated that individuals can continue to develop new brain cells into old age. Researchers at Sweden’s ...

The brain has five major structural phases during the human lifespan and doesn't reach adulthood until age 32, a new study suggests. Scientists determined that brain development is defined by four ...

Study suggests human brain development has four pivotal ‘turning points’ at around the ages of nine, 32, 66 and 83 Scientists have identified five major “epochs” of human brain development in one of ...

Lifelong plasticity is a core principle of neuroscience, yet it operates within real limits shaped by effort, stress and ...

This could be pivotal to helping people of all ages.

A new study finds that brain changes are not a steady progression; instead, distinct neural rewiring occurs around ages 9, 32, 66, and 83. A new study of brain MRIs has pinpointed four major turning ...

The brain changes as we age – but a new study pinpoints exactly when those shifts occur. Our brain structure moves through five distinct phases marked by four turning points, at ages nine, 32, 66, and ...
