The Teenage Brain
by Frances E Jensen

At no other point in its development is the brain more complex than in adolescence.

The two draw on neurological knowledge, experimental data, and interesting anecdotes to explain teenage development and behavior.
This book uses concrete brain science to present new findings and dispel harmful myths about brain development, providing practical suggestions for parents and teenagers going through the vulnerable period of adolescence. The Teenage Brain is useful for teens, parents, teachers, medical students, social workers, or anyone interested in the science behind the human brain.
