The most interesting part of the developmental process in life is the prefrontal cortex and how it continues to grow forward, which causes teens in the stage of puberty to not only be emotional but impulsive. Considering that this is the part of the brain that controls your reasoning, explains why they have a juvinile court system. I work as a court reporter and when I work in the courts where juveniles are convicted, the judges are much more reasonable. They have to consider the brain and why kids are the way they are. They are impulsive and sometimes they realize the crime they committed was wrong after it has already been committed, compared to adults and they're fully developed frontal cortex.
Brain...what an amazing development it goes through. And to think it is constantly running for an average of 65 years. Beauty right behind our eyes...underneathe a skull and surrounded by fluid.
