Episode 412. Does your frontal lobe ACTUALLY develop at 25?
Where did this myth that our frontal lobe develops at 25 actually come from? What does the death penalty and Leonardo DiCaprio have in common? You've probably seen TikToks, videos, tweets, memes, but what is the truth about brain maturity? That is what we're breaking down today, including:
• Why brain development is a lot more complicated than a number • The specific role of the frontal lobe • The early 2000s research that defined how we see brain development • Why our brain actually develops in spurts • The good news for 20 somethings
Happy listening!
