The human brain goes through five phases, with adolescence lasting until age 32: study

The study analyzed MRI data from 3,802 people and found key ages where brain wiring shifts, revealing insights into development, aging, and vulnerability to conditions.

  • The brain goes through five distinct phases in life, with key turning points at ages nine, 32, 66 and 83, according to a study by researchers at the University of Cambridge.
  • Understanding the brain's structural journey of a few major turning points could help identify when and how its wiring is vulnerable to disruption, leading to neurodevelopmental, mental health, and neurological conditions.
  • Brain development typically considered adolescent actually continues into the early thirties before the mature adult neural wiring pattern emerges, suggesting reasons for the prevalence of mental health disorders before age 25 and dementia risk over 65.
