TIMELINE
Brain Development Throughout Lifespan
Pre-School / Early Childhood
The number of synapses increases rapidly, along with white matter neurons along the motor nervous system tract. The brain strengthens frequent connections and eliminates unused connections.
PreSchool/Early Childhood
School Aged Children
Temporal lobes grow and reach peak volume. Between the ages of 5 and 11 years old, neural network connections form in the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes. These connections relate to cognition and language
School-Age
Adolescence
The neural network connections in the frontal lobe grow and strengthen. Certain areas of the brain related to emotion, reward, and motivation develop.
Adolescence
Young Adulthood
Young
Adulthood
Areas in the frontal lobe involved in goal-directed behavior mature. White matter connections also continue to increase.
Middle Ages
White matter connections stregthen, allowing the brain to efficiently engage in complex cognitive tasks. The white matter in the temporal lobe continues to strengthen it's neural network connections, along with rewiring its existing connections.
Middle Ages
Older Age
Some structures and regions of the brain shrink as a person ages. White matter also decreases in volume.
