Last Saturday, Billy Wilder crashed his sports car while under the influence of sugar. He was immediately rushed to his mother's arms and the only injury he suffered was some bruising of his ego. Billy's mom promised to mount a national campaign to prevent these types of accidents of ever occurring again. Quoting Ms. Wilder, "If the government won't prevent these sugar related accidents from happening then I will." Billy also has sworn off the use of sugar while driving and is committing his life to brain science to study the effects of sugar on pre-teen drivers.

Yet few materials on the subject address such a youthful audience. If you’re a parent, it can be surprisingly difficult to find a good way to discuss pornography. You don’t want your child to see sex as “forbidden”…

Two diagrams of brain regions involved in cognitive control, shown from different perspectives.
The skills that make up executive function rely on many different parts of the brain, including those shown here in blue. Working memory involves the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), for example, while inhibitory control engages the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA), neuroimaging studies suggest. All these regions are present by the time a child reaches adolescence, but the connections between them are still being refined by experience, getting stronger with use or weaker with disuse. Scientists think that this process of reinforcing and whittling down brain connections is key to helping teens adapt to their unique environments as they become independent.

Teens can have excellent executive function — just not all the time
Adolescents’ brains are highly capable, if inconsistent, during this critical age of exploration and development. They are also acutely tuned into rewards.

Mounting evidence suggests that adolescent brain development is an adaptive period of experience-seeking that’s necessary to refine and specialize brain systems supporting cognitive control — the ability to voluntarily pursue internal goals in an ever-changing environment full of distractions.

Graph showing that the brain’s cognitive and affective systems function differently in adolescence vs. adulthood. In adolescence, emotion and reward-driven systems sensitive to dopamine dominate; cognitive systems gain precedence in late teens and early adulthood.
Although the brain systems needed for executive function and cognitive control (shown in blue) are up and running in teenagers, research by Beatriz Luna, Ashley Parr and colleagues suggests that the brain’s reward systems — involved in both positive and negative emotions — still dominate (shown in red). This parallels an early surge in levels of dopamine — a neurotransmitter associated with reward and motivation — which declines as teens get older.
