The invention of ourselves. Secret life of the brain of teenagers

The author of the book focused on the brain of adolescents. It claims: the brain during this period differs from the brain of children and adults, it is not statistical, the processes of self -awareness and perception of the world are continuously developing! Neural connections are plastic, enthusiasm and creativity increase. Risky behavior, strong shyness, relationships with friends are signs of brain development on the path to growing up. Biological and social exist in an indissoluble connection: changes in the physiology of the brain are reflected in behavior and predetermine a lot in adulthood.
