The long-held belief that brain structure is fixed early in life has largely given way to the well-established concept of neuroplasticity—the idea that brain structure and function continue to change ...

Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...
