{"product_id":"2940013782013","title":"The Teen Brain: Still Under Construction","description":"The research has turned up some surprises, among them\u003cbr\u003ethe discovery of striking changes taking place during the\u003cbr\u003eteen years. These findings have altered long-held assumptions\u003cbr\u003eabout the timing of brain maturation. In key ways, the\u003cbr\u003ebrain doesn’t look like that of an adult until the early 20s.\u003cbr\u003eAn understanding of how the brain of an adolescent is\u003cbr\u003echanging may help explain a puzzling contradiction of\u003cbr\u003eadolescence: young people at this age are close to a lifelong\u003cbr\u003epeak of physical health, strength, and mental capacity, and\u003cbr\u003eyet, for some, this can be a hazardous age. Mortality rates\u003cbr\u003ejump between early and late adolescence. Rates of death by\u003cbr\u003einjury between ages 15 to 19 are about six times that of the\u003cbr\u003erate between ages 10 and 14. Crime rates are highest among\u003cbr\u003eyoung males and rates of alcohol abuse are high relative to\u003cbr\u003eother ages. Even though most adolescents come through\u003cbr\u003ethis transitional age well, it’s important to understand the\u003cbr\u003erisk factors for behavior that can have serious consequences.\u003cbr\u003eGenes, childhood experience, and the environment in which\u003cbr\u003ea young person reaches adolescence all shape behavior.\u003cbr\u003eAdding to this complex picture, research is revealing how all\u003cbr\u003ethese factors act in the context of a brain that is changing,\u003cbr\u003ewith its own impact on behavior.","brand":"The Delano Max Wealth Institute, LLC.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070270128368,"sku":"2940013782013","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013782013_p0.jpg?v=1763590197","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013782013","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
