The Social Adolescent Brain. "If all your friends jumped off.." - Part 2, with Dr. Eveline Crone

Welcome to Part 2 of our mini-series discussing the development of the adolescent brain, intended for all audiences. In this second episode, learn about how adolescent brain development relates to our modern social environment. We discuss how adolescents learn to take the perspective of others, form their identity, regulate emotions, and interact with social media. Give us a listen and learn the neuroscience behind one of the most important stages of our life!

Please listen to Part 1 first! Part 1 Link: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2024695/episodes/19386213, also available wherever you get your podcasts. 

To guide the discussion, we are joined by one of the world's leading research for the social adolescent brain, Dr. Eveline Crone.  Dr. Eveline Crone is a Professor of Developmental Neuroscience in Society at the Erasmus University Rotterdam and a professor in Neurocognitive Developmental Psychology at Leiden University. She helped pioneer the understanding of adolescence as a window of opportunity to handle the social environment, and continues to shape how we view the dynamic relationship between brain development and social contexts. The host for the episode is Dr. Matt Mattoni, a postdoctoral researcher at Northwestern University. 

Finally, for developmental scientists, please find three people outside of our field to share this episode with! This is a wonderful opportunity to share our science and its importance.
