    My son is 16 next week. I'll be better support now that I know he's got a brain. 😉 Thanks for the insight. Immensely clear in the way you demonstrate the bits and pieces. Keep up the great work.

    I'm a teacher. I teach to teenage students and find this video helpful in understanding why they behave the way they. This information will help me reduce my stress level while teaching.
    Thank you so much
    I found your videos very useful.

      Wonderful! I also teach teenagers. I think every teacher should take a course in teenage brain development. It would help explain so much!

    Hi, can I know the name of the famous study mentioned about risk-takers driving? Thank you so much

      Here is a nice overview of the research: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3218800/

    The diagram on the board is great for note-taking. Is it available as a download anywhere?

      I created digital notes for 8 other videos. Unfortunately I did not make one for teen brain. Check them out here: www.etsy.com/listing/1472560546/brain-science-bundle-watch-and-learn

    That's really interesting. Should Synaptic pruning inform educationalists rethink what/whne/how teenagers are taught?
    Would be great to see what happens in the brain of the elderly too. Thanks.

      Definitely! I teach teenagers myself and the more I learn about the teenage brain the more I can meet their needs

    So kids that are fast at math problems, for example, have more myelinated axons that pertain to that?
    When some is amazed at a teen that can solve problems fast could be responded to with "....eh, my axons in these areas seem to be myelinated."?

    • @PsychExplained

      I love your phrase, "my axons in these areas seem to be myelinated" :)
      Myelination definitely plays a role in the speed at which we/teens learn information. In psychology this is called FLUID INTELLIGENCE which declines as we age. However, there are many factors that also play a role - biology, genetics, stress, environment, etc. Essentially, nature and nurture.

      Can we do things are exercises that increase our abilities to learn better?
