Question:

Use neuroscience to explain the sometimes undisciplined and dangerous behaviours of teenagers (drinking and driving, drug use, unprotective sex etc.)

Author: Ahmad Danial



Answer:

It is the LAG in development of the prefrontal cortex. Rebellious teenagers lack the ability to assess risk and make sound decisions. Therefore, a firm and consistent home and school environment that support learning and development are so important. Rules and limits that simplify decisions help teenagers through this often confusing period.
