Scientists Say That Our Brains Are Not Fully Grown-Up In Our Twenties

#jaiyeorie Scientists Say That Our Brains Are Not Fully Grown-Up When We Are In Our Twenties

Professor Peter Jones, from Cambridge University, told a press briefing in London: ‘To have a definition of when you move from childhood to adulthood looks increasingly absurd. It’s a much more nuanced transition.

'I guess systems like the education system, the health system and the legal system make it convenient for themselves by having definitions.’

Speaking ahead of an international neuroscience meeting hosted by the Academy of Medical Sciences in Oxford, Professor Jones said: ‘I think the system is adapting to what’s hiding in plain sight, that people don’t like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly.

‘There isn’t a childhood and then an adulthood. People are on a pathway, they’re on a trajectory.’

Professor Daniel Geschwind, from the University of California at Los Angeles, stressed the degree of individual variability in brain development, saying education systems mistakenly tend to focus on groups, not individuals.📎 🤔COMMENT BELOW...
