Explaining that teenagers always want to be the center of the universe

The brain-making structure of young people makes them selfish and self-centered. This is a side effect of human development and maturity to increase the ability to learn and research.

A study by Columbia University in New York found that, in adolescents' brains, "happy signals" are created by binding the brain region to store memories with the brain processing area. make the right answers to problems in life. In adults, these links are not tight and so the happy signal is also quite faint.

In other words, when finding the right answer to the problem, the brains of young people will emit a happy signal to reward themselves to create a sense of pride and think of themselves as the center. It is these happy signs that will motivate young people to explore more problems to experience the feeling of pride. Besides, they will also develop a selfish mentality when they just want to keep all problems to solve themselves.

When tested on 41 teenagers and 31 adults, brain scans were applied while volunteers performed learning and physical education activities.

Analysis showed that in teenagers, the hippocampus - the place where the memories are stored - had very powerful activities. In addition, the link between the hippocampus and the striatum responsible for adolescent learning is also enhanced.

Puberty marks a beginning of adolescence. Puberty in girls is 8-13 years old, while boys are 10-14 years old, however, the ending points vary depending on personal, family, social and cultural factors. . This is a period of rapid and strong change both psychologically and physiologically, and also contains profound changes in social and personal relationships.

At this age, minors want to be respected as adults and want everyone around to see a separate individual. They never want to be compared or criticized, criticized in front of others.

Professor Daphna Shohamy, who runs the research, said: "This result does not prove that young children have better learning and memory abilities than adults. But the way to record information in children. You and adults are completely different ".

In normal people, between hippocampus, hippocampus and striatum, there is little association. However, in adolescents, these links are very strong, making children more interested in learning activities, exploring the outside world and easily remembering knowledge. However, this neural network also causes side effects and makes children always want to attract the attention of those around them.
