Teen Brain

When we think about all of the physical changes that happen to teenagers on the outside during adolescence , it seem obvious that there would be a lot of changes happening inside as well. Maturity comes with experience. The prefrontal cortex, is the CEO of the brain, the part where we think ahead, consider consequences and manage emotional impulses and urges.The hormones kicking in at puberty cause all sorts of emotional swings. Just when the adolescents need the mosey , the PFC’s abotlity to act rationally is offline. It’s so much for teens roller coaster emotions.
