You may think that you become fully mature at the age of 21, but new research suggests that the brain does not stop growing until the late age of forty.
Use the scientists in this discovery, the so-called device scanning magnetic resonance functional fMRI is a very sophisticated measure of activity and changes in areas of the brain is amazing, and before the coming century atheist and twenty did not have one of the scientists know that brain development is not completed until the end of the forties of human life!
And confirms the new research area that continues to grow is the corner or what scientists call the prefrontal cortex above and front of the brain, and this region is important in the decision-making and social interaction and functions of other personal such as planning, conduct and understanding of others and that distinguish humans from other creatures.
Says Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore: Since less than ten years we believe that the growth of the brain stops at an early age of human life, says quote:
Until about 10 years ago we pretty much assumed that the human brain stopped developing in early childhood ..
And then follow up: But the experiences of the survey on the brain MRI showed that the growth will continue during the thirties and the age of forty until the end of a lifetime! The most important area of most growth is a continuation in the corner, the part of the top and by the brain, that set us apart from others as human beings.
