Frances E. Jensen, MD explores and analyzes mysterious territory in her book, “The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide to Raising Adolescents and Young Adults.” Co-written by Amy Ellis Nutt, the book explores recent research into how the adolescent brain is still developing throughout the teenage years, the important changes that are still happening, and the implications when it comes to parenting and understanding teens. Dr. Jensen joins us in the studio to explore what she's learned about the teenage brain while writing this book.
