Open Doors to Safety NHCADSV: The Neuroanatomical Transformation of the Teenage Brain: Jill Bolte Taylor

Wednesday, December 11, 2013

I love checking out other people's brain talks. Jill Bolte Taylor, author of My Stroke of Insight, gave this talk on the development of the adolescent brain as a TED talk. I think it is the best brain talk I have heard to date. It describes what is happening in the developing brain, why teenagers are the way they are and the hope for us all if they tend their brains well and if we don't kill them before they are 25.
