using this book ((lifespan development 7th edition boyd )) this book must be one of the 3 sources you will use for this essay. Please read the discussion guidelines carefully.

Overview
In this discussion, you will explore adolescent identity development in your own life or in popular culture. The purpose of this discussion is to encourage you and your classmates to reflect on this topic and foster a conversation that elucidates the concepts in this module.

Instructions
Watch  Insight Into the Teenage Brain and The Mysterious Workings of the Adolescent Brain in their entirety. Answer the following questions in your post:

What aspects of the documentary surprised you? 
How can advances in neuroscience help us understand adolescent identity development? 
What did you learn about your own adolescent identity development by watching these talks? 
How can advances in neuroscience help teachers working with adolescents and parents who have adolescent children become better teachers and/or better parents?

Discussion Guidelines

Quantity

The goal for module discussions is to have an interesting and academic dialogue where we will explore various developmental issues. For each discussion, you will be required to write an initial post and respond to a minimum of two other students’ posts. Continuous interaction throughout the module discussion helps to build community. Enhanced learning will occur through interaction with your peers and the instructor. Spread your posts over different days during the time the module discussion is open. Posting all discussions in the same day or meeting the quantity requirements on the final few days of any module discussion will earn minimal points. Please refer to the Discussion Rubric for details.

Quality

A quality post includes efforts to synthesize your learning by using course terms and concepts in replies. Critical thought is expected. Draw connections between current and past material, other courses you may be taking or have taken, personal experience, current events, web resources, and so on to enhance the discussion.  In replying to fellow students, the goal is always to say what you agree or politely disagree with or what you find interesting about your peers’ posts and expand the conversation! To earn full credit, your replies must bring new information and/or thoughts to the discussion. Community building is important in the online classroom. Refer to the “Course Policies” section of the Start Here! module for a brief explanation and link to further information on the Mutual Respect in CCC-Online Communications policy. In addition to this policy, community is demonstrated by integrating the comments of your peers (including the instructor) in elaboration on a question to expand the discussion. The discussion should be interactive, not a series of monologues!

Length

Try to keep your discussion posts concise and meaningful. You are required to write an initial post of no less than 500 words. You are also required to reply to two other students’ posts with posts of no less than 200 words each. Think of your peers before posting and ask yourself if you would want to read the post you are about to make. What does it add to the conversation? How does it enhance the discussion? If you can provide solid answers to these questions for both your initial post and your replies, then you likely have very good posts.  Specifically, focus on one claim in two fellow classmates’ responses that you think deserves to be developed in more depth. Suggest how that claim could be further developed and supported with evidence.

Citation

Your initial post must include two resources (textbook + one peer-reviewed scholarly journal article) and be appropriately cited in APA. Both of your replies must include one resource (textbook or other scholarly resource) each, appropriately cited in APA. Refer to the Course Policies section of the Start Here! module for an explanation of plagiarism. Remember, you must cite all information you take from other sources. Many students make the mistake of citing only when they directly quote a source. You must also cite when you paraphrase information from a source.  Review the APA style guide provided on the Purdue Owl Website at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

Insight into the Teenage Brain and The Mysterious Workings of the Adolescent Brain

            The adolescent stage has been found to be a period in human development that is marked by rapid and greatest development (Fuhrmann, Knoll & Blakemore, 2015). Other than secondary sex characteristics or physical the physical signs that shows maturity, the most important aspect of growth during the adolescence occurs in the brain. According to (Boyd & Bee, 2014) adolescent brain development is nearly complete and is as developed as 95% of that of an adult. The video clips “Insight into the Teenage Brain” and “The Mysterious Workings of the Adolescent Brain” provides important neuroscientific explanations of development of teenage brain during adolescence.

            Although I found the two video clips to be very informative and reinforcing of the content learned about adolescent, there are some aspects that were surprising. One aspect that I found to be so surprising was the development of reward system among the adolescents. In the video clip “Insight into the Teenage Brain” I was surprised to find out that functional MRI on adolescent brain found that the teenage groups have exaggerated sensitivity to rewards (Galván, 2013). When it was compared to the sensitivity of the adults, the teenagers showed high magnitude of activation towards sugar. The other aspect that was found to be surprising was when I watched “The Mysterious Workings of the Adolescent Brain”.  I was surprised to find out that though the prefrontal cortex is so active during the adolescence there is decrease in social cognition tasks during this developmental stage.               The early studies done over thirty years ago considered human brain to be fixed and immutable after its final development in childhood. However, the developments in the last decades have allowed neuroscientists to study the brain……………………………………………………………………………………………………
