The past two decades have seen a surge of research findings on the adolescent brain. Adolescent Brain Development summarizes this literature, reviewing brain changes from childhood through adolescence and early adulthood. The changes occur at all levels: molecular, cellular, anatomical and functional. Evidence indicates the processes involved in the remodelling and shaping of brain structure and neural circuitry contribute to the behavioral changes that are often noted across cultures during the adolescent period (e.g., increased risk-taking behavior, novelty seeking, and increased affiliation with peers). The work concludes with take away points on the structural changes and malleability of the brain during this period and how that affects learning, judgment, decision-making, and behavior.
