Doctor explains brain maturity sciencefrom @catchangmd

Overview

A medical professional poses the question of why people are said to mature at age 25. She explains that the frontal lobe of the brain fully develops at this age, lists its key cognitive functions like self-control and memory, contrasts this with function loss in dementia patients, and advises those under 25 to seek external input for major life decisions.

Transcript

So why do we say that you're not fully mature until the age of 25? That is because the brain or the frontal lobe matures at the age of 25. And what the frontal lobe is really important for are higher levels of cognitive functions, such such as inhibition, memory, self control, and self expression. You can see loss of frontal lobe function in some elderly patients that develop frontal lobe dementia, and so their behaviors can be wild and erratic. If you're making any big decisions under the age of 25, you might want to listen to other input, maybe from your parents or older siblings or friends who might have some other thoughts, just so that you can take all different inputs and make the best decision for yourself.
