According to foreign media reports, if you think the behavior of young people in their 20s is too naive, don't worry, because we don't really grow up until we are in our 30s. We were a baby before we were 30 years old?
Young people have to enter the workplace overnight after graduation, but it will take ten years for their brains to mature.
Although the age of 18 is not considered as the starting point of adulthood by experts, we should not regard it as the age of adulthood. The process of breaking away from adolescence is long and difficult, and varies from person to person.
Neuroscientists say that the new understanding of the process of human brain development will have a significant impact on society. At the age of 18, the brain is still undergoing tremendous changes. Young people in their 20s are very vulnerable to mental disorders, and this problem will be solved by the age of 30 or so.
Professor Peter Jones, of Cambridge University, told a press conference in London: 'it's getting more and more ridiculous to have to set a time for the turning point from adolescence to adulthood. This is a complex transition process, which can not be achieved overnight. I guess the education system, the medical system and the legal system may find it convenient for them to have a certain adult time. '
Before attending the International Conference on neuroscience held by the British Academy of Medical Sciences in Oxford, Professor Jones said: 'there is no clear dividing line between childhood and adulthood. People do not cross this line to become adults, but have been walking on the track of transition. '
Daniel Geschwind, a professor at UCLA, emphasizes the differences in brain development among different people, saying that the education system tends to focus on groups rather than individuals, which is a big mistake. Professor gershwinder added: 'these questions are much more important than science. Different people walk on different development tracks, and the development time lasts for decades, and varies from person to person. '
Now scientists have known that schizophrenia and other mental diseases are related to the complex interaction between genes and environment. Schizophrenia is more common in older adolescents. From the age of 27 to 28, the risk of schizophrenia will be significantly reduced. Scientists believe that this rule is related to brain development.
