Abstract in brief

The study investigates how different layers of the human prefrontal cortex (PFC) develop at different times, with deeper layers maturing earlier than superficial ones, which may influence brain plasticity.
Using advanced imaging techniques, the researchers found that myelin, which helps stabilize neural circuits, matures in a deep-to-superficial pattern across the PFC, affecting how the brain learns and processes information.
The findings suggest that this layer-specific development plays a key role in balancing neural stability with the brain's ability to adapt and learn over an extended developmental period.]
