The age during gestation, childhood, adolescence, young to middle-age adulthood, and old age.

"Throughout life our brains undergo more changes than any other part of the body. These can be broadly divided into five stages, each profoundly affecting our abilities and behaviour.
But we are not just passengers in this process, so how can we get the best out of our brains at every stage and pass the best possible organ on to the next? New Scientist investigates
1. Gestation:
A good prenatal environment is needed to make the best out of the growing brain
2. Childhood:
Life experiences in these early years help shape our emotional well-being, but neglect or harsh parenting may change the brain for good
3. Adolescence:
Teenagers are selfish, reckless, irrational and irritable, but given the cacophony of construction going on inside the adolescent brain, is it any wonder?
4. Adulthood:
The peak of your brain's powers comes at around age 22 and lasts for just half a decade – but there is an upside to the ageing brain
5. Old age:
Not everyone ages in the same way, but what's the difference between a jolly, intelligent oldie and a forgetful, grumpy granny? And can we improve our chances of becoming the former?"
