Present data suggest brain maturity is completed in males by 25 and females by 22. Variations are likely in both. The label is used as a guide for when the functional linkages between brain cells are finished forming and redundant linkages have been deleted.

For males, it is generally thought that full developmental connections over the frontal lobe have occurred maximally by age 25 or 26 yrs in most.
