For many years scientists used to believe that our brain stopped physically evolving in early childhood but new research has shown that keeps changing well into middle age. By using the latest scanning technology, brain scans have shown that prefrontal cortex – the area just behind our forehead – continues to change shape in our 30s and 40s.The discovery is particularly significant as the prefrontal cortex is a key area of the brain and is often thought said to be key to what makes us human.
