Is it true that the human brain reaches full maturity at age 25?
Partly. One peer-reviewed paper states the human brain does not reach full maturity until approximately 25 years, while a reference work labels the 'brain matures at 25' belief a myth traceable to a single researcher's speculation. The two relevant sources directly disagree on the claim.
