BC2008: Adaptive or Arrested Development of the Adolescent Brain | B. Casey

Neuroscience and Behavior
Undergraduate Lecture
Tu Th 8:40-9:55AM

The teen brain has received a lot of media coverage with advances in brain imaging techniques that provide a voyeuristic opportunity for us to look under the hood of the behaving adolescent brain. This course will cover empirical and theoretical accounts of adolescent-specific changes in brain and behavior that relate to the development of self control. These accounts of adolescent brain and behavior will then be discussed in the context of relevant legal, social and health policy issues.
