Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelination of neurons continues through adolescence, as the brain continues to develop and refine neural connections. While much of the myelination occurs early in life, particularly in the first few years, the process is not complete until later in development. Some research suggests that myelination may continue into early adulthood, but this is still an area of active investigation.
