🧠📅 The Five Structural Ages of the Human Brain — A New Map of Lifelong Development Dive into this week’s MedWeekly for the full breakdown → pubmed-ai-newsletter.beehiiv… A massive Cambridge analysis of 3,800 brain scans reveals something surprising: The “Adolescent Efficiency Phase” — once thought to end in the early 20s — actually continues into the early 30s. This extended Epoch 2 is then followed by a long period of structural stability that lasts until about age 66. Aging, it turns out, follows a far more dynamic and staged architecture than we ever realized. #MedWeekly #PubMedAI #Neuroscience #BrainAging #DevelopmentalScience #Cognition #CambridgeStudy
