I'm a teacher. I teach to teenage students and find this video helpful in understanding why they behave the way they. This information will help me reduce my stress level while teaching.

Thank you so much

I found your videos very useful.

My son is 16 next week. I'll be better support now that I know he's got a brain. 😉 Thanks for the insight. Immensely clear in the way you demonstrate the bits and pieces. Keep up the great work.

Doctor Kushner, You are very good at explaining exactly how structures work.

I'm very interested in the teenage age

[silverriver]

Could an adult with ASD have pruned certain types of mental functions as a teen that they actually needed as an adult? For example: Understanding Social cues, emotional information, social/relational communication skills, etc being pruned
Or could they have had issues with mylenation causing slow processing of emotional information? Or could the prefrontal cortex and limbic system affect impulse control problems with anger and anxiety and intuition? And since ASD has a strong genetic component, when and why does this developmental issue begin? Do people who have Level 3 ASD have stunted or regressed brain development at 15 months while those with Level 1 have brain developmental issues as a preteen?

That's really interesting. Should Synaptic pruning inform educationalists rethink what/whne/how teenagers are taught?
Would be great to see what happens in the brain of the elderly too. Thanks.

Always hated Science. But you break things down so well

The diagram on the board is great for note-taking. Is it available as a download anywhere?

[hienmainguyen]

Hi, can I know the name of the famous study mentioned about risk-takers driving? Thank you so much

So kids that are fast at math problems, for example, have more myelinated axons that pertain to that?

When some is amazed at a teen that can solve problems fast could be responded to with "....eh, my axons in these areas seem to be myelinated."?
