The five ages of the brain

Throughout life our brains undergo more changes than any other part of the body. These can be broadly divided into five stages, each profoundly affecting our abilities and behaviour. Read this article on New Scientist on 'The five ages of the brain', looking at how the brain changes as we grow and how these transformations are reflected in our lives.

It breaks the life span down into 'five ages', with a short article for each - tackling gestation, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age.
