Re: Purity test time!
(Anonymous) 2025-01-29 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)Not always true. This is a pretty new concept, I never even heard of 25 being the maturity marker until I was 28. https://www.iflscience.com/does-the-brain-really-mature-at-the-age-of-25-68979
Re: Purity test time!
(Anonymous) 2025-01-29 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)Like the article suggested when people claim the brain is not developed until 25, it's not the brain per se they are talking about, but the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is that part of the brain heavily associated with rational thinking and impulse control, the two thing that SHOULD characterise an adult human.
Also it's a medium parameter, most probably based on neurotypical subjects. But yeah, it means that people under 25 are usually way more impulsive than older adults because the prefrontal cortex is not 100% matured as it COULD be in latter adulthood.
(btw re emphathy: "the involvement of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, temporoparietal junction, and the medial temporal lobe in self-reflection and autobiographical memory places these key regions as necessary for cognitive empathy."
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21071616/
so the prefrontal cortex seems to play a part in that, but in cognitive empathy.
I personally think you can have high empathy levels even if your prefrontal cortex is still pretty immature)
