The Neuroscience of the Teenage Brain - with Sarah-Jayne Blakemore
How and why are teenage brains different from child and adult brains? And how do adolescent experiences make us the adults we become? Drawing upon her cutting-edge research, award-winning neuroscientist, Sarah-Jayne Blakemore will explain what happens inside the adolescent brain, and what her team’s experiments have revealed about our behaviour, and how we relate to each other and our environment. Our adolescence provides a lens through which we can see ourselves anew. It is fundamental to how we invent ourselves.
