Drawing on her behalf research, knowledge, and medical experience, internationally well known neurologist--and mother of two boys--Frances E. Jensen, MD, offers a cutting edge go through the adolescent brain, providing impressive insights that translate into useful advice both for parents and young adults. Powered by the assumption that brain expansion was almost complete by enough time a child reached puberty, scientists presumed for many years that the adolescent brain was essentially a grown-up one--only with fewer miles on it. Over the last 10 years, however, neurology and neuroscience have unveiled that the teenage years encompass vitally important periods of brain development. Motivated by her connection with parenting two young adults, renowned neurologist Frances E. Jensen, MD, gathers what we've discovered about adolescent brain working and wiring and, in this groundbreaking, accessible audiobook, talks about how these eye-opening results not only dispel commonly presented myths about teens but also deliver practical ideas for adults and young adults negotiating the incomprehensible and enchanting world of adolescent biology. Interweaving clear summation and research of research data with anecdotes drawn from her years as a clinician, researcher, and public speaker, Dr. Jensen explores adolescent brain working and development in the context of learning and multitasking, stress and ram, sleep, habit, and decision making. Analyzing data connecting chemical use to lingering ram issues and sometimes a lesser adult IQ, The Teenage Brain talks about why teenagers are not as resilient to the consequences of drugs once we previously thought; reveals how multitasking impacts learning capability and concentration; and examines the results of stress on mental health during and beyond adolescence.
