Q

brain changes on test
* Which 4 areas of the brain develop the most in adolsence?
* What happens to myelin
* Synaptic pruning also happens at this point. What is that?

A

Develop the most
1) Frontal cortex development (personality, filter)
2) Corpus Collosum development (connects R/L sides of brain) - still developing in teenage years = hold thoughts on both sides of brain)
3) Limbic system/Amygdala development

Increase in Myelin - Speeds up conduction
* Makes reflexes faster
* Thats why you don’t expect a 7year old to be able to hit 80 mph pitch

Synaptic pruning
* Use it or lose it. If you arent using the area the brain deletes them
