Dr. Frances Jensen, "The Teenage Brain"

http://www.politics-prose.com/event/b... With co-author Amy Ellis Nutt, Washington Post science writer and author of Shadows Bright as Glass, Dr. Jensen, head of neurology at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, draws on clinical experience and recent research to show that in adolescence the brain has not yet reached adult maturity. Exploring what this means for judgment, multi-tasking, sleep needs, and other behaviors, Jensen offers advice for both teens and parents.
