A team of neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom identified five broad phases of brain structure over the course of an average human life. These eras occur as the human brain rewires to support the different ways of thinking while we grow, mature, and eventually decline. The five major turning points are detailed in a study published today in the journal Nature Communications.
In the study, they compared the brains of 3,802 people between ages zero and 90, using datasets of MRI diffusion scans. These types of MRIs map neural connections by following how water molecules move through brain tissue. They detected five broad phases of brain structure in the average human life that are split up by four pivotal turning points between birth and death when our brains reconfigure.

Your brain changes at 9, 32, 66, and 83
Brain scans of 3,802 people show how the brain’s structure changes at four major turning points.
