Girls Mature Faster Than Boys

Girls Mature Faster Than Boys.
New leader research suggests one insight girls mature faster than boys during their teen years. As people age, their brains reorganize and slacken up connections. In this study, scientists examined brain scans from 121 salubrious people, aged 4 to 40. It's during this period that the major changes in intellect connectivity occur. The researchers discovered that although the overall number of connections is reduced, the intelligence preserves long-distance connections important for integrating information.

The findings might explain why brain task doesn't decline - but instead improves - during this period of connection pruning, according to the inspection team. The researchers also found that these changes in brain connections begin at an earlier age in girls than in boys. "Long-distance connections are fastidious to establish and maintain but are crucial for fast and efficient processing," said look co-leader Marcus Kaiser, of Newcastle University, in England.
