CAMBRIDGE, UK — The human brain doesn't simply grow and then decline. Instead, it moves through five distinct structural phases over a lifetime, separated by four major turning points at ages 9, 32, ...

A new study finds that brain changes are not a steady progression; instead, distinct neural rewiring occurs around ages 9, 32, 66, and 83. A new study of brain MRIs has pinpointed four major turning ...
