New Studies Shows Human Brain Reaches Full Growth Around Age 12

Harriet Steinberg

A new study indicates that the brain of children at the age of 12 is pretty much developed. After this age, the brain is shown to slow down quite a bit. Researchers, who are studying the human brain, recruit healthy families. They have studied 500 families ranging in age from the new born to teenagers. Periodically, these subjects are given MRI scans of their brains. These scans are taken of these individuals from the time they are infants until they become teenagers. The subjects are also given a battery of tests which include IQ, language skills and memory. The research is funded by the National Institute of Health.

So parents be careful when you are sending your kids to primary school and handing over yr children to teachers.

"Life can be like a roller coaster... And just when you think you've had enough, and your ready to get off the ride and take the calm, easy merry-go round... You change your mind, throw you hands in the air and ride the roller coaster all over again. That's exhilaration...that's living a bit on the edge...that's being ALIVE."
