In teenagers, this portion of the brain is underdeveloped because the brain matures back to front. This part of the brain is not fully matured until roughly 24 years of age. Therefore, the frontal lobe in teenage brains is not near as developed as an adult's frontal lobe.]]> 2016-11-11 15:40:22 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/7d0nkea3qdol/wish/137030833 amanda_gillman https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/7d0nkea3qdol/wish/137032076 When making decisions, teenage brains responds with a gut decision, rather than consciously thinking and reasoning for the matter. Adult brain's respond differently to outside influences and are trained to think deeper into the problem rather than making a subconscious decision. ]]> 2016-11-11 15:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/7d0nkea3qdol/wish/137032076 amanda_gillman https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/7d0nkea3qdol/wish/137032758 In the brain there are many nerve connections that control the brain and control the impulses that are recieved by the brain. In young teenage brains, these nerve connections are not fully connected. These connections are just barely holding on to there connector. As a result of this, the brain processes information slower and in a smaller frame. While in adults, these connections are tightly connected which allows them to look at the big picture and control their actions based on the big picture/outcome rather than the teenage "I want what I want and I want it now mindset."]]> 2016-11-11 15:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/7d0nkea3qdol/wish/137032758 amanda_gillman https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/7d0nkea3qdol/wish/137033935 The Amyglada is the portion of the brain that controls with impuses of agresstions, fear, and other various negative emotions. Teenagers rely heavily on this portion of the brain due to the immaturity of the brain. As a result of this, teenagers are more likely to act with an act of aggression to a given situation rather than adults who have a more complex, and developed portions of the brain.]]> 2016-11-11 15:50:49 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/7d0nkea3qdol/wish/137033935 amanda_gillman https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/7d0nkea3qdol/wish/137035804 Synapses are the messages that are communicated between the prefrontal cortex portion of the brain, and various other parts of the brain. Studies have shown that synapses in teenagers, are still growing and progressing throughout their teenage years. Specifically, the he brain begins to get rid of the synapses it doesn’t need in order to make the other synapses much more efficient in communicating. During this time, the brain becomes more efficient and complex, making the teenage brain much more productive and reasonable. In relation to adults, adults have a fully developed synapse system that allows them to make fully conscious decisions as opposed to teenagers who are unable to do this because the underdevelopment of the brain.]]> 2016-11-11 15:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/7d0nkea3qdol/wish/137035804 amanda_gillman https://padlet.com/amanda_gillman/7d0nkea3qdol/wish/137037036 1.http://www.psych2go.net/examining-the-differences-between-teenage-and-adult-brains/
