- 16. Adolescent Brain Research • Brain keeps growing and developing to age 25! • Teen brain is a “late childhood brain” – Capacity to learn things quickly – Connections between different sections of the brain aren’t fully developed yet. – Brain is pruning and re-wiring neurons during this time – Amygdala is getting hyper triggered by hormones – Prefrontal Cortex (frontal lobe) is last place for connections to develop.
