Sure its more "accurate" than the common belief that development ends at 24. But still not quite right, as there isn't proof that there is a concrete age where development ends.

    Yeah, I could be wrong, but I think any improvement after a stroke is a sign that the brain can still rewire itself to improve at that age. And I don't just mean "recovers to normal" but any functional loss that is subsequently compensated for is the brain adapting to its new reality.

    IMO the biggest barrier to development isn't age but a stubborn desire to not learn, which can happen at any age and can vary in a single individual per topic.

    Though I do wonder how a brain can end up wiring itself to not want to continue improving. Lack of nutrients such that continued attempts at development could result in the whole thing falling apart?

    I can definitely agree with that. Majority of brain development past 13 is mostly just neutron connections - which rely on learning and experiences. This does relate to what you have said, stubbornness will impede the frontal lobe to make new connections.
