During adolescence, maturation of the frontal lobes lags behind maturation of the limbic system.
What is limbic system?
A collection of structures called the limbic system are scattered throughout the cerebrum. The amygdala, hippocampus, and hypothalamus make up this structure. These parts of the brain are engaged in the motivation and emotional expression that are necessary for survival. Fear, rage, and the fight-or-flight reaction are among the emotions. The limbic system is also engaged in rewarding actions such as eating and having sex that are necessary for species survival. The limbic system also controls processes associated to memory recall and storage of experiences that elicit intense emotional reactions. According to neuroimaging studies, adolescents are more prone than adults to be influenced by their emotions when interacting with people and making decisions.
