When Does Your Brain Fully Mature?

Wanna make a guess? Tradition says that the Age of Reason is 12, when we are supposedly able to tell right from wrong. So, what do the scientists say?

Twenty-five!

And then there comes this one:

The ages you're the smartest at everything throughout your life @ The ages you're the smartest at everything throughout your life

25 as far as making judgments -- unless you're liberal.

In that case....

It never matures!

I think it depends, I probably hit my mental peak in my early thirties, though my judgement and ability to see through dishonesty and deception has improved significantly. I am a sponge for information, I read constantly, it's as if my brain needs constant stimuli.

Quite interesting though to see this information. Keep the brain active and you can remain young at heart regardless of age. Never too old to keep learning, give your brain and body a reason to stay alert, active and alive!

i think its funny , i always heard that i was a young man at 12 or so , could have a gun whenever my parent gave me one and could drive at 12 and get a license at 16 after passing a test and then vote and drink beer at 21 . Nowaday these snowflakes can vote at 18 and the push is to go to 16 yet many still live in the parents basement and are on DADS insurance till 26 . ------------ i have heard the push for recognizing a fully developed brain at 25 and i think its hilarious LKnife . ---------- just some comments

I turn 60 next month and I've yet to see any signs of maturity in anything except my limbs.

I'm going to say around 23.

Certain factors can inhibit full maturity.

Getting pregnant and doing drugs are 2 of them. Just something I've observed.

I don't think that anyone with a functioning brain has ever lived long enough that their brain has learned all that it can. While dementia is a problem for some, I have known people in their 90's that were still learning new things, and enjoying life. As long as you are still absorbing information and have the ability to make judgements on that new information, you have not yet reached your maximum maturity.

I assumed it happens at different ages for different people. A genetic throw of the dice.

My brain keeps trying to grow into a mature person, but I keep strangling it in the crib.

I would have thought it was 30+ for men and 21+ for women.

Well, that depends.

For trump supporters it will never happen.

Couldn't resist this one.

The brain: a work in progress?

Enjoying the ride.

My brain never fails to amaze me, every day.

The female brain and the male brain are intriguing to study.
