How our brains age across the lifespan!

I have quite a few free articles to gift and I thought this one that was based on the study of over 100,000 brains might be interesting to some of you, who like me, find our brains fascinating.

Do brains peak in childhood? Is it all downhill after 30? Can a 65-year-old brain keep up with an adolescent?
While growth charts tracking metrics like height and weight give a relatively clear picture of the range of human physical development, less has been known about the key milestones of normal brain aging.

To find out more, an international team of researchers collected brain scan data from multiple studies representing 101,457 brains at all stages of life. The youngest scan in the study came from a 16-week-old fetus; the oldest was from a 100-year-old.

If anyone else has some data to share, please add it. I love reading about neuroscience and the brains of humans and other animals.
