Brain Development
A common belief that the frontal lobe fully develops by age 25 has been challenged by recent neuroscience findings. New brain-imaging studies reveal that key neural wiring and network efficiency evolve well into the early 30s. This extended timeline highlights ongoing maturation processes in the brain.

A new genetic study has identified 331 genes essential for transforming stem cells into brain cells, including a novel gene linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. Led by scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the research highlights how early genetic disruptions can lead to conditions like autism and developmental delay. The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, also reveal patterns in how these disorders are inherited.
