A Dartmouth study suggests the brain doesn't stop developing at 18. Of course, women have been saying that about guys for years. Now there's proof.

Actually, I think most women complain that men DON'T develop beyond the age of 18, no matter how old they get! (-:

When maturity finally sets in, only then are you ready to grow....

I'm 58 and still waiting. This could be a self-help course. Maybe it is measured in dog-years?

My brother, Tim, had mentioned something related to this a year or two ago - that there were studies that showed the logic center isn't fully developed until the age of 25. He finds this hopeful when it comes to his college aged kids.
