Dentro del Cerebro
Adolescente
Doctors have discovered that
the adolescent brain, while fully grown in size,
is a long way from maturity. One of the last regions
of the brain to mature is the pre-frontal cortex-home
of the "executive" functions-planning,
setting priorities, organizing thoughts, suppressing
impulses and weighing consequences of one's actions.
This means the part of the
brain young people need most to develop good judgment
and decision-making develops last!
