Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

There’s this idea that something happens in the human brain when we turn 25. Suddenly, we can rent a car without fees. Make ...

There is no magical switch that turns on at age 25, or even 32 for that matter. Like your brain, you’re in a decades-long ...

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

A study in the journal Science presents compelling new evidence that neurons in the brain’s memory centre, the hippocampus, continue to form well into late adulthood. The research from Karolinska ...

Researchers now suggest that the human brain goes through five distinct phases of development over the course of a lifetime.
