adolescence is critical for the understanding of complex problems and solving issues such as putting together intricate puzzles or figuring out maps. The forebrain is segregated further into four lobes; occipital, parietal, temporal and frontal. The three biggest lobes; frontal, parietal and temporal are affected far more when developing during the adolescent stages. The frontal lobe is considered the emotional control center as well as the home of personality traits. There is no other part of the brain where lesions can cause such a wide variety of symptoms (Kolb & Wishaw, 1990). The frontal lobes are involved in motor function, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control, and social and sexual behavior. (Levin et al., 1987).
Moving away from the outer brain, forebrain into the midbrain, there are a FIVE? key structures that develop as the adolescent grows and matures. Each part of the brain plays a specific role in the individual as time goes on whether it is controlling breathing and movement or memory and spacial learning.
College, a place once populated by contemplative students, has experienced an unexpected twist over the past few years: 1,825 deaths, 599,000 injuries, 696,000 assaults, and 97,000 cases of sexual abuse. These are such drastic numbers, but there is only one reason for all these corrupted acts of society: alcohol (College Drinking 1). Abusing the privileges of alcohol corrupts students minds, intellectually and socially. Many college students experience a euphoria of freedom and …show more content…
Behavioral neuroscience offers excellent techniques for assessing cognitive development and emotional functions. Examinations of brains of from alcoholic patients offer clues about the about obstructions of neurotransmitters occur and how alcohol depletes the white and grey
