Research on Adolescent Brain Development

Puberty is where many teenagers try to judge places that fit their world. The problem of decisions and rights over adolescence, which is no longer a child, not an adult, has proved to be an uncontrollable problem. Various privileges such as driving, smoking, drinking rights are gradually given to young adolescents. In other words, even though adolescent youth is regarded as an adult, there is no definitive and definitive moment. Therefore, in solving adolescent happiness it is necessary to take serious consideration on the development of adolescent brain development.

Research on brain development in adolescence does not indicate a clear age at which a clear legal distinction should be made between adolescence and adulthood for all purposes, but this is very beneficial . People mature between about 15 and 22 years old. Minors are judged in a situation they are allowed to make a failed decision and negotiate with others - what psychologists call "cold cognition" - as mature as adults I do not. In contrast, minors are not mature as adults before adulthood of high mood, time pressure, or the possibility of social coercion - "heat cognition". Until they are 21 years old. This distinction is partly related to our understanding of the changes in the prefrontal cortex of the brain. And it usually lasts for the first 20 years of life.

Brain development Before puberty and adolescence (8 to 13 years of age), the brain experiences major changes and maturation that are responsible for transitioning from childhood to adulthood brain function. Three neurodevelopmental milestones seen in this population stand out among soccer players: 1. White matter development: Myelin is a fatty substance that surrounds axons (a long bond from one neuron to another nerve cell) and has a white appearance of white matter. The action of myelin resembles the insulation around the wire of the electrical system, protecting the cells and increasing the communication speed between the cells. Peaks of myelinating neurons occurred at 11 and 12 years of age. Without sufficient myelin, axons are more susceptible to injury and destruction, and brain processing may be slow.
