This number declines with age, stabilizing by adulthood. Estimates vary for an adult, ranging from 10 14 to 5×10 14 synapses (100 to 500 trillion). [120] An estimate of the brain's processing power, based on a simple switch model for neuron activity, is around 10 14 (100 trillion) synaptic updates per second . [121]
