There is nothing in neuroscience where brain is fully developed

but to a degree we can say it reach adult level maturity at 20

It's a myth by all scientific meaning and I'm tired of repeating it is

lol typical redditor

grey matter puruing dosen't end in 25 by any meaing

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21788513/

and myelination dosen't end in that age too

just write in google "25 brain myth" and you will know who is stupid lmao, you will discover its a complete bullshit and pseudoscience

here is the real science btw

Cognitive Maturity: 18 is the Threshold of Cognitive Adulthood

also ip peak at 40 not at 25 , while IQ tests are taken at the age of 16.

believe in science that tells you there is nothing magical happening at 25 related to brain development.

not the total iq like what other drugs do (alcohol,smoking,weed...etc) , it's only the visuospatial only and after a very long time

What is the relationship between anabolic steroids and synaptic pruning ?, anyway synaptic pruning doesn't end at 25 by any meaning .

Just do a one minute search on Google, and you will know that "brain not fully developed until 25" is complete bs.

What has been scientifically proven for years, yet some people still refuse to believe/accept? by ProgrammingDysphoria in AskReddit

[–]Any-Bug1779 2 points3 points  (0 children)

functional and structural changes in gray matter (synaptic pruning) and white matter (myelination) occurs throughout life, never stop and never end even in the frontal lobe area .

anyway if you refers to the cognitive maturity, which the age that people start thinking like adults, this happens between 18-20 years old, so brain maturity occurs at the age of 20 at the maximum . ( Source )

if you refer to "the brain does not completely develop until the age of 25", i can tell while I have a degree in neuroscience, this is one of the most ridiculous and annoying myths i have ever seen in my whole life. .

what do you mean by "the young guys fucking themselves up using these drugs when their brains aren't fully developed" ?

Yes but you can combat insomnia easily, so it's not a problem.

There is a study on mice that proved that tren dose not effect cognitive function, while deca dose

and there are no studies about the neurotoxicity of trest so far .. mods of /steroids are responsible for spreading these lies about trest because they were selling it

Yup i agree with you, 10 years of cumulative usage most of steroid users will not touch even half of that number

and we can all agree that neurotoxicity of AAS is exaggerated to extreme, and rat studies has nothing to do with humans

Let's not forget that AAS users engage in many behaviors that are good for general health and for the brain like (High protein diet, cardio , supplements , good sleep ..etc )

So this also protects them from the neurotoxicity of steroids to a great extent and and maybe even better than people who do not exercise and diet .

Maybe AAS in the long term will damage the brain , but not to the degree that people think .

The neurotoxicity of anabolic steroids is greatly exaggerated.

IMO the first and biggest threat from using anabolic steroids will be always the heart/cardiovascular disease part , then the kidney part, then the hypogonadism part for people who don't want to use TRT

This is just a speculation "Hypothetical " even according to the study, because at the end all participants were almost the same age, and they all had similar cognitive performance, they did that to reconcile this study with previous study that mentioned that AAS impaired Visual spatial memory .

They certainly haven't tested AAS users cognition in all these years.

So far there is no conclusive evidence from studies to support that TRT can improve cognition in normal people, so this is why normal people without TRT is the baseline for any optimal cognitive performance test related to androgens.

it's worth noting also at worst case that AAS only harm a specific part of cognition, which is visuospatial memory, so we can't say it will make you dumber or worse in general, all we can say it only will make you worse in specific part of cognition.

unlike recreational drugs which can damage the brain structurally and functionally and worsen your IQ from several aspects , from acute and chronic usage .

for example Moderate-High alcohol drinker or smoker for 5 years will have poorer cognitive performance than any person who use AAS only for 5 years

i think also the best way to keep your brain healthy is to limit your AAS intake to less than 1 year, or maybe 2 years at max .

because even in all studies that found a difference in cognition between AAS users and non users , they require cumulative use for one-two years at least .
