[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 93665, member: 1498"] If he said that, he is mistaken based on all the recent research on brain functioning in teens and brain maturing. The brain cells that die off begin to die off in the teen years. The development of the brain is not complete until that happens. What die off are excessive nerve connections that formed in the early years of life which, because so much of the growth and learning that takes place post puberty, are no longer needed once the growth process begins to slow. Dopamine is associate with impulsive behavior. Dopamine levels in teens continues to fluctuate through the late teens and early twenties, again, until the brain is fully developed. [/QUOTE]
