A member asked:
When does the emotional part of the brain stop growing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No expert agreement: Most now feel complex emotions do not reside in only one spot in the brain, they are formed like jigsaw pieces from many parts of the brain. Tests like functional MRI and PET scans are sorting this out but more questions are always arising. The best approach is to ask when does the whole brain reach maturity. This may be near 30 years old. See: http://mentalhealthdaily.com/2015/02/18/at-what-age-
