Foreign Media: A study published in "Nature Communications" based on nearly 4,000 brain scan data identified that the human brain's neural connections and network structure go through five stages throughout life, separated by four major turning points.
The four turning points are approximately at 9 years old (entering adolescence from childhood, with a qualitative change in cognitive ability and increased risk of mental health disorders), 32 years old (the strongest turning point, entering the most stable and efficient adult phase), 66 years old (entering early aging, with a decline in brain connectivity), and 83 years old (entering late aging, with further dispersion of the brain's communication network).
This finding provides a new roadmap for understanding the dynamic changes in human brain function with age.
