Overview
Adolescence is a transition phase between childhood and adulthood, a time of learning and adjustment, particularly in the setting of long-term goals. It also is a time when youths are discovering how to navigate new social challenges and are adjusting to a large number of physical, cognitive and emotional changes within themselves. Throughout adolescence continues dramatic structural and functional brain development. Developmental neuroimaging studies are inconsistent with a simple model of frontal cortical immaturity. Changes in social and affective processing during adolescence – changes in so called „social brain“ – may confer greater flexibility in adjusting one´s motivations and goals in rapidly changing contemporary social world.
Keywords:
adolescence – frontal cortical immaturity – social brain
