@abcnewsaus: A new study from the University of Cambridge suggests adolescence does not end until the age of 32, with the brain undergoing five major developmental stages throughout life at the ages nine, 32, 66 and 83. Neuroscientists compared the brains of 3,802 people using MRI scans and found the brain doesn’t follow a single linear trajectory instead, it shifts through distinct phases.

I just turned 34 and I can tell you, once you hit 30 a switch goes off and you're just different and you start to see the world differently

Yeah I long feel in my 20s as much as I'm quite mature, I still felt like a kid. Only once I reach my 30s I feel like a real adult and a switch flipped.

Everyone says things get better in your 30’s. I’ve noticed my brain has absolutely matured in my mid to late 20’s. So interesting.

I have to wonder how much of it is innate and how much of it just reflects education (or new work training) - our education lasts longer, and learning is linked to mental benefits.
