Tweet 05/10/2015 07:39 PM #TeenageBrain Our behaviour is complex, as is our brain. Brain AND behaviour change in adolescence. 0 2015 05/10/2015
Tweet 05/10/2015 07:36 PM #TeenageBrain "Teenagers are more biased to the slightly risky option - because of the higher reward" 0 2015 05/10/2015
Tweet 05/10/2015 07:34 PM #TeenageBrain Why do teenagers make risky decisions? asks Dr Carrington 0 2015 05/10/2015
Tweet 05/10/2015 07:33 PM #TeenageBrain The more mature your brain, the better you are at the no/no-go tasks says Dr Carrington 0 2015 05/10/2015

Tweet 05/10/2015 07:26 PM #TeenageBrain Dr Carrington: Teenagers tend to have more activity in front of brain than adults when thinking of these kind of mental states 0 2015 05/10/2015
Tweet 05/10/2015 07:21 PM #TeenageBrain Theory of Mind: the ability to attribute mental states to self and others. 0 2015 05/10/2015
Tweet 05/10/2015 07:19 PM #TeenageBrain Dr Carrington: During adolescence the front of our brains actually matures last. 0 2015 05/10/2015
Tweet 05/10/2015 07:16 PM So what about the #TeenageBrain? Brain is maturing into our 20s and possibly into our 30s. White matter increases, grey matter decreases. 0 2015 05/10/2015
Tweet 05/10/2015 07:14 PM #TeenageBrain Dr Carrington: lots of research done looking at adult and child brains, but the research asks different questions. 0 2015 05/10/2015
