New Studies Shows Human Brain Reaches Full Growth Around Age 12
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.
