The Science Behind the Human Brain

We are still trying to understand how the human brains works but what we do know is already fascinating. Its sheer complexity means it may still be a long time before we fully understand its workings. This infographic from   Study Medicine Europe   takes you through what we know about how the brain works and what we can do to protect it.

Interestingly, the brain may still be developing until our 30s. In truth, the most vital period is when we’re children as the brain is 90% developed by the age of 3, so this period is vital.

The prefrontal cortex is a particularly vital area of the brain as it is responsible for things like decision making, short-term memory, and personality development. Any issues with the development of the prefrontal cortex can have an extremely detrimental effect on a person. Find out more information about how you can promote healthy brain development now!
