Posts highlight the importance of prefrontal cortex development in areas like criminal behavior and social policies, indicating a moderate social impact.
Abstract in brief
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is a highly developed brain area involved in complex cognitive functions, which evolves by increasing surface area and adding new regions.
Although PFC neurons are formed before birth, their further development, including synapse formation and neural connections, continues into the third decade of life, involving processes like overproduction and later selective elimination of synapses.
Studying these developmental processes helps us understand how genetic, environmental, and molecular factors influence brain growth and may contribute to cognitive disorders and neuropsychiatric conditions.

-use substances that effect the development of prefrontal cortex
but not mature enough to decide who they get into a relationship with?

The study investigates how different layers of the human prefrontal cortex develop at various times, with deeper layers maturing earlier than superficial ones, influencing brain plasticity and learning capacity.

@MatthewJBar @sam_atis Very strong disagree, but I see your point. There is a certain arbitrariness in cutoffs, but they must be placed somewhere. I think the development of prefrontal cortex in teenagers is still incomplete.
@NWOBruh @CeraGibson You don’t need extensive studies (which you don’t even understand scientifically, i’m sure) to prove the development of prefrontal cortex issue, only a single google could have proved that.
But nowhere it signifies that the prefrontal cortex is sole responsible of maturity.
@oolon Perhaps!!!

@rotsmoel @grok @UGugliachi @Inako_Yolwa @elonmusk And we know people with greater impulse control tend to commit less violent crimes, the brain region responsible self control is the prefrontal cortex and poverty quite literally impairs the development of prefrontal cortex prenatally and during development like infancy + b4 teen
@TaraBull808 What about the Feminist argument of the development of “prefrontal cortex in Brain, which governs judgment, impulse control, and long-term planning, is not fully mature until around age 25”.
Or does that not apply to Men??

USA has a gun problem.
As a first measure i would raise the min age to be able to buy a gun from 18 to 26 years old. Reason is brain development of prefrontal cortex, which is only finished by many at age 25!
The prefrontal cortex plays a crucial role in decision making.
One definition of maturity is the age at which the development of prefrontal cortex is complete. But I don't think this means people shouldn't be allowed to make their own decisions before that. Esp if we call them adults at 18.

@eyeslasho You should be mindful of your accusations. A good chimpanzee lawyer might sue you for defamation. They are chimpanzee homicides, not murders. Chimpanzees lack development of prefrontal cortex necessary to form the “guilty mind“ of intent to kill necessary to establish murder.

Look at his forehead. With a PhD in Autism, I see this guy has macrocephaly. I said so at the tine. It's a pronounced forehead caused by premature development of prefrontal cortex. Serious autism. It's a cognitive variant, but needs to be supported.

@RRR0BYN Perhaps the one common denominator for the safety in your town was the absence of MAOA gene and high development of prefrontal cortex. Both of course have nothing to do with socioeconomic status.
@konnenr @Nutzor @jimheskel @creepydotorg Development of prefrontal cortex would infer cognitive development and if you actually read any scientific studies you would know that the claim their prefrontal cortex develops faster is a fallacy that is not at all a consensus in the scientific community. Again, thanks for
@MHBDew Lmao. Which basic biology?
Even if your argument is for age of full development of prefrontal cortex. That would be 25. So why don't we do 25?
But that's obviously not your concern.
These things are set with many considerations with education/access to information being top.

Cici, math is the mental faculty that allows us to gauge risk and probability, and therefore is the key to controlling our sense of fear. Fear arises from the primordial amygdala, while math (and judgment) depends on development of prefrontal cortex. https://t.co/l77HOyoexc

Everything w/humans is arbitrary & deceptive. Ppl R ready 2 change things in light of scientific research, but if only it suits esp men's interest. I.e. we know more about age 4 development of prefrontal cortex now. Will any of laws on decision making change accordingly? Ofc no
@knxcholx @stash_spot__1 @imkyuti @empireenjoyer10 @JulieKennis2 No u r wrong using development of prefrontal cortex to avoid accountability and responsibilty for actions of adults. 25 is not some magical number, by 25 majority, 90% of pfc is already developed and if some cannot control their impulses even in their 20s they be able to forever https://t.co/qHN8SAXoAV
@komodokaiju182 @hollowearthterf Knowing what we know about brain development of prefrontal cortex and decision-making not wrapping up till ~25, it should be minimum 21 age of consent
@Anitabishnoi09 At this age of 18 to 25 they've a rosy view of life due to late development of prefrontal cortex. So they are bound to "react based on their emotions". You've been a good samaritan Anu. May Mahakaal always bless you.
@TheEcho13 Also disagree with this. I know plenty of single, independent women who stop becoming goofy because they are more career focused. Maybe the development of prefrontal cortex may also play a role? Whatever it is, I am not convinced it’s men’s fault. Though they can contribute

Improper development of prefrontal cortex, often associated with learning ability.
Intelligence is intrinsic, many are born without it.
@haralabob Do all young adults act the same?
No. Myriad of teens do have impulse control where others do no not,regardless of development of prefrontal cortex. Do we let teens/ young adults make decisions about the military, driving, what they eat? Gambling/Entertainment is no different.
@bjlm2000 @lyliagomezuri @REPCTRL Connor and Taylor: 2 people who reached a legal age decided to date?

So they’re either both legal, or
both has not reached aged of maturity.
@HumanHeadline Min: 25, ensuring full development of prefrontal cortex. Max: same as pilot or surgeon. Over 65s to require mandatory cognitive assessments. (Biden & Trump would likely struggle). If you have cognitive impairment, you shouldn’t decide on policies with life or death consequences.
