| Summary: | Adolescence is a critical stage of the developmental trajectory, where a child’s transition to independent living
may result in lead healthy or unhealthy styles. During this period, it is easier to mend an individual as a healthy
adult; at the same time, misguided children may enter into risky behaviors. The aim of the study to get an insight
into changing brains of adolescents and their behavioral outcomes. The current review search engine proceeds
with reviewing the literature in the past through electronic databases such as PubMed, Medline, and Scopus
databases using keywords such as adolescent stage, the brain of teenagers, risk behaviors, reduction in gray
matter in the prefrontal cortex. The current study reviewed and analyzed 20 articles. The reviewed articles would
increase the awareness and insights regarding brain changes and their behavioral outcomes. This insightful
information’s drawn out of the study may help professionals and parents who intervene in the adolescent’s
problem behaviors. |
