This course offers a deep dive into the fascinating and often misunderstood process of adolescent brain development. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, and developmental science, it unpacks the changes that shape teenage behavior, emotions, and decision-making.
You’ll explore how the brain’s structure and function evolve during adolescence, including the maturation of the prefrontal cortex, the heightened activity of the limbic system, and the implications for impulse control, risk-taking, mood, and social relationships. The course also addresses how these changes relate to mental health, learning, and behavior—and how parents, educators, and clinicians can respond supportively.

-
Key neurological changes during adolescence
-
How brain development affects behavior, emotions, and decision-making
