Timeline[edit]

Can anyone help with a timeline for completion of synaptic development in humans at the end of "adolescence"? I have found this: http://www.mybrainfacts.com/cont01/017.html but it is a little hazy about the "pruning" stage and when this is completed or how we might determine the change points between 1. the "mass" pruning I think the article is referring to, 2. the "finalization" of "adolescent" pruning", and 2. the "ongoing" generation/pruning of mature adulthood. This article http://www.fcs.uga.edu/ext/bbb/brainTimeAdolescence.php suggests: "Myelination of the frontal lobes is not complete until very late in adolescence. Some researchers estimate that frontal-lobe development continues until age 25 to 30."

Requested move 19 September 2015[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Unopposed for several weeks. Jenks24 (talk) 08:54, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Neural development in humans → Development of the nervous system in humans – This article in fact describes how the nervous system develops, and so should get a name that describes its scope. Secondly this would move the title towards an article that lay readers are more able to understand. ~~Thirdly we should drop the "in humans" as there is no article that it needs to differentiate from.~~ Tom (LT) (talk) 07:16, 19 September 2015 (UTC) Relisted.

Update: there is such an article, and I've proposed a similar merge at Neural development. --Tom (LT) (talk) 07:20, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Move[edit]

Suggest moving this page to Development of the nervous sytem - almost all if not all, is copied from the page. Target page is more comprehensive. --Iztwoz (talk) 09:19, 3 March 2019 (UTC) [reply]
