Question

1. at what age does the brain stop growing?

1. what are 3 things the prefrontal cortex can do?

1. which part of the brain develops faster in teenagers: the limbic system (emotional) or the prefrontal cortex (logical)?

the brain doesnt stop changing, even after 25. every time we learn something new, our brain changes. but around age 25, the brain has finished growing its main parts. for teenagers, the brain is still growing a lot. also, different parts of the brain are changing at different speeds, which is important.

galván said, \the different parts of the brain keep getting better. the parts of the brain that control feelings are more active. also, the prefrontal cortex, which is right above your eyes, keeps growing.\

the prefrontal cortex helps us think about the future, understand what will happen if we do something, and make good decisions. teenagers prefrontal cortex still needs to grow a lot before it is finished.

one way to think about it is that the brain has two sides: one that is careful, and one that is quick to react (impulsive). these two sides balance each other.
until age 25, the impulsive side of the brain is going fast, while the careful side is trying to get some control. thats what makes a teenager.

galván said, \its like these two sides are fighting. but when people become adults, the prefrontal cortex will be stronger and have more control over how they act.\

the game of risk
teenagers do things that adults think are bad or not smart. but these things actually help teens learn, galván and other scientists have found.

Explanation:

Question 5

Buscamos la edad en la que el cerebro deja de crecer. En el texto: "But around age 25, the brain has finished growing its main parts."

Buscamos las funciones de la corteza prefrontal. En el texto: "The prefrontal cortex helps us think about the future, understand what will happen if we do something, and make good decisions."

Buscamos qué parte del cerebro se desarrolla más rápido en adolescentes. En el texto: "Until age 25, the impulsive side of the brain is going fast, while the careful side is trying to get some control. That's what makes a teenager." y "the impulsive side" se refiere al sistema límite (emocional), mientras que la corteza prefrontal (lógica) aún está desarrollándose. Así, el sistema límite (emocional) se desarrolla más rápido.

Answer:

Around age 25.
