How does adolescence reshape the way we think and decide?
In short: Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore explores the neurological shifts of the teenage years, addressing whether technology or biological sex fundamentally alters how the adolescent brain develops.
Following her lecture at The Royal Institution on 4 June 2018, Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore of UCL answers questions regarding the mechanics of the adolescent brain. As a leader of the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Group, her research investigates how social cognition and decision-making processes evolve during this period.
