It used to be thought that the brain was mature at around the age of 12, but 
  findings from brain imaging now suggest that it's not fully mature until the 
  age of 25. We are born with around 100 billion neurons or brain cells, each 
  of which has multiple antenna-like dendrites that can potentially link up 
  with tens of thousands of other cells.

By the age of five, our basic "cerebral architecture" is complete. 
  New networks are most easily created up to the early teens – the optimum 
  time for learning languages, maths, music, writing and co-ordinated 
  movement, including sports and dancing. But the potential exists for 
  something like a hundred trillion connections.
