The teenage brain :
Jensen, Frances E.,
The teenage brain : a neuroscientist's survival guide to raising adolescents and young adults / Dr Frances E. Jensen with Amy Ellis Nutt. - London : Thorsons, 2015. - xvii, 358 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Why is it that the behaviour of teenagers can be so odd? As they grow older, young children steadily improve their sense of how to behave, and then all of a sudden, they can become totally uncommunicative, wildly emotional and completely unpredictable. We used to think that erratic teenage behaviour was due to a sudden surge in hormones, but modern neuroscience shows us that this isn't true. 'The Teenage Brain' is a journey through the new discoveries that show us exactly what happens to the brain in this crucial period, how it dictates teenagers' behaviour, and how the experiences of our teenage years are what shape our attitudes, and often our happiness in later life.
