“A team led by Harvard neuroscientists Jessica Andrews-Hanna and Randy Buckner used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to monitor brain activity in 38 young adults, mostly 20-somethings, and 55 older adults, age 60 or above.”

They used 55 older adults, age 60 or above. I think that qualifies as a fully developed brain.

Please really read my post before replying.

It’s not the older people that I was concerned about. I was saying if they want to compare a young adult brain to an older adult brain, they should make sure that ALL the younger people measured should be over 25, because that’s the age when the brain is fully developed and the brain’s structure is done going thru major changes.
