Highly readable, ground-breaking' Professor Laurence SteinbergWhy does an easy child become a challenging teenager? Why do teenagers struggle to get up in the morning? Why do they often take excessive risks? We often joke that teenagers dont have brains. For some reason, its socially acceptable to mock people in this stage of their lives. The need for intense friendships, the excessive risk taking and the development of many mental illnesses depression, addiction, schizophrenia begin during these formative years, so what makes the adolescent brain different? Drawing upon her cutting-edge research in her London laboratory, award-winning neuroscientist, Sarah-Jayne Blakemore explains what happens inside the adolescent brain, what her teams experiments have revealed about our behaviour, and how we relate to each other and our environment as we go through this period of our lives.
