Another assumption busted: the brain continues to change from early-adulthood to mid-adulthood.
Whilst the changes that occur in our brains during childhood, adolescence and old age have been well documented, it has been assumed that brain structure is relatively stable from early-adulthood through to mid-adulthood. However, research from China published in Frontiers In Neuroscience has found microstructural changes in the brain that are correlated with age. Scientists analysed a series of brain scans from 111 participants aged 18-55 years. The brain scans employed a fo
