At what age is the human body fully developed including brain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Later than thought: Up until a decade ago it was thought that the brain fully develops by the early 20's. More recent research from england suggests that the prefrontal cortex continues to mature into the 30s and even 40s. The prefrontal cortex undergoes the longest period of development. It is an important area of the brain for high cognitive functions such as planning and decision-making.
