Detailed explanation-1: -The brain finishes developing and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s. The part of the brain behind the forehead, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last parts to mature. This area is responsible for skills like planning, prioritizing, and making good decisions.
Detailed explanation-2: -The development and maturation of the prefrontal cortex occurs primarily during adolescence and is fully accomplished at the age of 25 years. The development of the prefrontal cortex is very important for complex behavioral performance, as this region of the brain helps accomplish executive brain functions.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to recent findings, the human brain does not reach full maturity until at least the mid-20s. (See J. Giedd in References.) The specific changes that follow young adulthood are not yet well studied, but it is known that they involve increased myelination and continued adding and pruning of neurons.
Detailed explanation-4: -Scientists explained our brains don’t reach adulthood until our 30s at a new meeting on brain development. Our brains are constantly developing over a span of three decades. This means that certain behaviors, like excessive alcohol consumption, can be particularly damaging when we’re young.
