Inside the Teenage Brain
It's the mystery of mysteries – especially to parents. Now the experts are exploring the recesses of the brain and finding explanations for why adolescents behave the way they do and how the new discoveries can change the way we teach, or perhaps even understand, our teenagers. New research in neuroscience has demonstrated that a crucial part of the brain undergoes extensive changes during puberty – precisely the time when the raging hormones often blamed for teen behavior begin to wreak havoc. Through interviews with scientists, teachers, parents and young adults, "Frontline" investigates whether another cause of adolescent angst is all in their heads – or more precisely, in their still-forming brains.
