A Cambridge study finds brain development occurs in five stages, with key shifts at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83, challenging the notion that brain maturity ends in the 20s.
A University of Cambridge study analyzing MRI scans from 3,800 people has identified five distinct brain development phases across the lifespan, with key turning points at ages 9, 32, 66, and 83.
The research reveals that brain structure evolves in stages: rapid growth and wiring in early life, continued refinement through age 32, a stable adult phase until 66, gradual reorganization linked to aging after 66, and further decline after 83.
The findings challenge the notion that brain maturity ends in the mid-20s, showing cognitive and structural changes extend into the early 30s and that brain efficiency peaks later than previously thought.
