Amygdala
Cerebellum
What is the prefrontal cortex responsible for?

What does the prefrontal cortex have to do with teens living in the moment and being more likely to take risks?
It is fully developed
It is underdeveloped

What part of the brain is also referred to as the "emotional brain"?
Prefrontal cortex
Amyglada
Cerebellum
Brainstem
How does the limbic system work?
It regulates sleep patterns
It ties activity of the forebrain to the midbrain and hindbrain by providing emotional context situations.
It controls muscle movement
It enhances logical thinking
Why is the location of the cortex versus limbic system important?
The limbic system develops faster because the brain develops back to front.
Both develop together.
Emotion processing develop earlier and then executive function later.
The cortex develops faster because the brain develops front to back.
