Cortical white matter increases from childhood (~9 years) to adolescence (~14 years), most notably in the frontal and parietal cortices. [8] Cortical grey matter development peaks at ~12 years of age in the frontal and parietal cortices, and 14–16 years in the temporal lobes (with the superior temporal cortex being last to mature), peaking at about roughly the same age in both sexes ...
According to this theory, life span development has multiple trajectories (positive, negative, stable) and causes (biological, psychological, social, and cultural).

In 2023, “middle age” isn’t what you might think—now 40 to 50, middle age (in theory) is older than ever before—and everyone’s choosing their own path as we live longer lives.
[20] [21] Some men do not develop full facial hair for 10 years after puberty. [20] Facial hair continues to get coarser, much darker, and thicker for another 2–4 years after puberty. [20] The major landmark of puberty for males is spermarche, the first ejaculation, which occurs, on average, at age 13. [22]
