@MadoForan I meant that people are being pushed through too quickly, and children should not be transed at all. Brain maturity for the pre-frontal cortex is not complete until approx. age 25. https://t.co/NoJ6SQmqUb https://t.co/vgqlaLG7rG
@choochz @BCBrantley @Ktboy10 @r0sedealer_ @6jjayllenn @dee3donya By scientific evidence we know it is 21~25. So that is the grey area, not 17, not 19, not 20. Here is a second article on it. https://t.co/XJ4XHJB14Z
@KieranJC20 @DwindlingGravy @EllaWitchwood @zarahsultana During puberty and through to 25, the prefrontal cortex (area of reason and understanding long-term consequences) develops. It’s not done until 25. (Blockers affect brain maturation too.) https://t.c

@vgr I’ve seen this pattern with other people. Their musical tastes get established by age 25. Which is interesting as the human brain takes approximately 25 years to mature. https://t.co/j2TTkwxQfX
@Barukka @GarthGerwing https://t.co/3Ge2S83Mba 25 might be the right age.
@HeartSongAI @ekuchan7 Yes it literally is, if youd understand the job of the prefrontal cortex and its role in maturity, for example then you would understand that you in fact arent that mature until 25+ Did you miss the "even fucking then you can still r

Human brain undergoes a “rewiring” process that’s not complete until approx 25 years of age. Brain development is not complete until near the age of 25 years specifically development of the prefrontal cortex. https://t.co/Yztx6EQHvB
