Myth of the Teen Brain: An Article Review

Introduction In 2007, "Scientific American Mind" published an article by Robert Epstein. In his article, Epstein asked whether the teenager's brain can cause turbulence or whether there is confusion to shape the brain. The author first explains the theory of failure that bothers young people today. It started in 1904 when G. Stanley Hall observed the young people staying in the street for immigrants between large immigrants and industrial revolution. Hall reproduced his observed turmoil, that is, the adolescence was attributable to the biological theory reflecting the "savage and pig" stage of evolutionary development (Epstein 2007).

The article under consideration is "Neurodevelopment ?: Adolescent Brain How It Works" Author: Ken Powell (2006). This article seems to be reliable from the following points. Although the author is a freelance scientist, his work makes people believe that he knows what he is saying. In addition, he also provided some supplementary material to support his subject. He also provides some other articles and works on the internet. - Definition of crime tax A simpler definition of tax is to tax on unethical items for goods and society that are not necessary for daily life. Crime tax is also called a consumption tax and can be traced back to the time after the revolution. The tax is a kind of taxation "using government income and reducing annoying behavior" (class notes).

In 2007, Daniel Martin wrote an article on Daily Mail saying "Adolescents should go to school". In this article, he said Professor Russell Foster of the University of Oxford, "If I start classing in the afternoon, if I do not start classes, teenagers will be able to get more results," I am talking. Professor Foster refers to the study of melatonin (hormone regulated sleep) levels in adolescents under 20 years of age. They discovered that the brains and circadian clocks of teenagers are gradually set to approach a typical college age. In a nutshell, their body will be difficult to sleep in the future, so they will wake up long after. Interestingly, after the age of 20, it began to reverse. This may explain why our seniors sleep on the sofa between 6 o'clock and 7 o'clock and get up at 3 o'clock to 4 o'clock in the morning to start a new day!

In adolescence, the rhythm in the body (somewhat like internal body clock) is reset, tell the teenager to sleep at night and get up in the morning. This change in circadian rhythm is probably due to the fact that the brains of teenagers make hormones at night instead of children and adult brains. (Melatonin and other hormones, serotonin help sleep regulation during people's sleep - arousal cycle.) But this is not the only cause of insomnia in adolescence. Many people have insomnia - falls or sleep -. The most common cause of insomnia is stress. However, there are discomfort of the body (such as cold nose and headache pain), mental distress (such as family problems or human relations problems), or unpleasant sleeping circumstances (hot, cold, bright, noisy night Exposing eyes to excessive light, for example through mobile devices, makes sleeping more difficult.
