The prefrontal cortex is the last region of the brain to develop, remaining immature well into adolescence. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions such as weighing the future consequences of future activities. The brain does not finish developing until about the age of 25 (I say finish, the myelination of neurons- converting grey matter to white matter- continues. White matter peaks in late middle age, grey matter in one's twenties)

But as always, whether or not you decide to use your brain once you get it all is not grounds for legal absolution.
