The scientists said understanding the brain's structural journey "will help us identify when and how its wiring is vulnerable to disruption" in future. The human brain goes through five major stages ...

A new study has mapped out five phases of brain development that play out over the course of our lives—and four ages seen as pivotal turning points in that process, reports the BBC. The ages are 9, 32 ...

In a new study, researchers discovered that the human brain has four pivotal periods when it goes through marked changes, sparking five "epochs" that last for years. The adolescent phase, for example, ...

The human brain experiences five distinct eras as we age, and each is defined by changes in our neural architecture that influence how we process information, new research shows. The brain changes ...
