For much of modern history, the brain was seen as largely fixed by the end of childhood. Intelligence, personality, and ability were believed to follow a mostly predetermined biological path.

For much of the 20th century, scientists believed that the adult human brain was largely fixed. According to this view, the brain developed during childhood, settled into a stable form in early ...
