Between ages 13 and 50 you lose about 20% of your gray matter, and gain about 10% of white matter.
These are not dramatic differences.
Teenage brains and middle aged brains are very similar.

133 followers · 512 posts · Server mastodon.cloudThe brain is by far the least understood part of human anatomy.
Sentences like "We took pictures of brains and noticed some changes and that means that 22 year olds cannot consent to sex"
are very popular, but complete idiocy.

B: "If they have child brains we can't let them work in factories, or any place where there's danger. They gotta be removed from the workforce, and of course free from taxation."

People grow up faster now. We are taller younger. We start and finish puberty significantly earlier than 100 years ago
But rather than acknowledge that we're reaching adulthood quicker, we decided to act like we are children longer
So we now have a widespread unscientific belief in an absurdly long "adolescence"

The stupidity of this article is fierce.
Accusing our young people of having deficient brains is vile AF.
(The Washington Post should check their own data *before* they blame teens for everything)

39 followers · 354 posts · Server mastodon.cloudLooking around the world I see obsession with undeveloped frontal lobes only in a few countries which also have long strict sex-phobic Puritan traditions,
and the allegedly deficient brains are only mentioned with regard to choices about sex.
Coincidence?
