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

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

The 25 number became popular off the back of brain imaging studies from the late 1990s and early 2000s. These studies often tracked changes through childhood and adolescence and showed that the brain ...

The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

For more than six decades, neuroscientists have wrestled with a fundamental question about the human brain: Do adults continue to make new neurons, or are we born with all the brain cells we’ll ever ...

When a baby enters the world, their brain contains billions of neurons awaiting connection. The first 1,000 days of life, from conception to age two, represent a critical period where over 85% of ...

A study suggesting that the human brain enters a stable phase around age 32 has people in their 20s feeling validated. University of Cambridge neuroscientists released their research results on ...

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