Under most laws, young people are recognized as adults at age 18. But emerging science about brain development suggests that most people don’t reach full maturity until the age 25. Guest host Tony Cox discusses the research and its implications with Sandra Aamodt, neuroscientist and co-author of the book Welcome to Your Child’s Brain.

The article above points out that we don’t fully understand how our brains age functionally as a collection of cells. And the article below points out that we don’t even know all the different types of brain cells, let alone have the ability to study them.
Without the ability to study all of the different types of brain cells there is no way to know how they develop as the brain ages. Why we allow the medical community to push drugs on our children that probably affect how their brain can develop is beyond me.

And I know that you’re getting tired of hearing it, but I feel like I’m beating my head against the wall especially after the zika insecticide debacle. But if we haven’t even identified all the different neuronal cell types in our brains how can we have any idea whether some of the neurotoxins that we are spreading all over the place affect a specific brain cell type _that we have yet to identify_? Have you had your water tested for all the things we don’t know what to test it for?
So maybe we should be just a hair bit more careful about spraying neurotoxins all over our food to kill insects.
Just a thought.
