Although it does not get larger, it matures by becoming more interconnected and specialized (Giedd, 2015). The myelination and development of connections between neurons continues. This results in an increase in the white matter of the brain, and allows the adolescent to make significant improvements in their thinking and processing skills. Different brain areas become myelinated at different times.

It delves into the brain regions involved and how they affect adolescents' perception of rewards and risks. The text highlights common risky behaviors seen in adolescents, such as substance use and unsafe driving, and explores social influences and neurological factors contributing to these behaviors.

Of course, as in hormonal studies in voles, the effects are likely to depend on the history of the individual and the context, and to be dose-dependent.

Being knowledgeable about anatomy and physiology increases our potential for pleasure, physical and psychological health, and life satisfaction. An appreciation of both the biological and psychological motivating forces behind sexual curiosity, desire, and the capacities of our brains can enhance the health of relationships.
