Session Description
Adolescence is a period of increased vulnerability, risk-taking, and reward-seeking behavior. Understanding how the brain’s reward system changes during teenage years could help identify youth at risk of mental health disorders and substance abuse. Research highlights new findings in adolescence-specific neurological causes of such conditions and increases the potential for early treatments before serious symptoms erupt.
