Instead of a steady climb and gradual decline, the data pointed to five broad phases of development and aging, each with its own patterns of connectivity.Those phases break down like this:Childhood (birth to about 9): rapid growth in gray and white matter,

Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can responsibly use these bits of gray matter.

Elon Musk's brain implant company Neuralink will start "high-volume production" of brain-computer interface devices and move to an entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026, Musk said in a post on the social media platform X on Wednesday.

But boosting our brains does not end there, millions of us are downloading brain training apps to improve our processing speed, memory and to try to protect the 86 billion neurons we have stored in our heads - and as a way, we are told, of staying mentally resilient in the age of artificial intelligence.

Elon Musk said that Neuralink implants will move to an "almost entirely automated surgical procedure in 2026."

Foods like extra-virgin olive oil, berries and eggs have nutrients to benefit brain health. More brain health-promoting habits include exercise, stress management and sleep.

Patients are currently required to have a referral from their primary care physician to make an appointment at the clinic.
