'Our brain continues to develop longer than we thought,' states Ph.D. student Dorien van Blooijs. According to recent findings from the University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC Utrecht), our brain's decline occurs later than previously believed. The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, reveals th
Recent research from UMC Utrecht and the Mayo Clinic reveals that our brain declines later than previously thought, occurring between ages 30 and 40 instead of after 25. By studying electrode grids placed on epilepsy patients’ brains, researchers discovered that brain connections become faster with age, doubling in speed, and providing new insight into brain function and development.
The fact that the data could also teach the researchers something about how our brain works was a new insight. “We have been collecting this data for about 20 years,” Leijten said. “It wasn’t until a few years ago that we realized we could use the unaffected areas as a model for the healthy human brain.”
