A large study using brain scans reveals that human brain development progresses through five distinct stages from birth to old age, punctuated by key turning points that reshape neural organization. Surprisingly, adolescent-like development extends into the early thirties. This research sheds light on how our cognitive abilities and vulnerabilities change throughout life, correlating specific developmental phases with associated skills and risks. Understanding these stages provides a framework for comprehending the evolving nature of the human brain.
