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.

Gestation.....Part 1 of our special feature looks at how a good prenatal environment is needed to make the best out of the growing brain.

Childhood.....Part 2: Life experiences in these early years help shape our emotional well-being, but neglect or harsh parenting may change the brain for good.

Adolesence......Part 3: Teenagers are selfish, reckless, irrational and irritable, but given the cacophony of construction going on inside the adolescent brain.

Adulthood.......Part 4: 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.

Old Age......Part 5: Not everyone ages in the same way, but what’s the difference between a jolly, intelligent oldie and a forgetful, grumpy one? And can we improve our chances of becoming the former?
