Coping stratigies

100

Why do we need coping strategies

Coping skills help you tolerate, minimize, and deal with stressful situations in life.

200

what is stress

what does coping strategies improve?

Coping skills help you tolerate, minimize, and deal with stressful situations in life.

THE LIMBIC SYSTEM

100

when does the limbic system develop

Neurons that comprise the structures of the innate limbic system are generated within the first two weeks of gestation.

200

where is the limbic system located in the brain

You can find the structures of the limbic system buried deep within the brain, underneath the cerebral cortex and above the brainstem.

300

what does the limbic system control

The limbic system is the part of the brain involved in our behavioural and emotional responses, especially when it comes to behaviours we need for survival.

400

how is the teenage brain affected by the limbic system

During adolescence, dopamine levels in the limbic system increase and input of dopamine to the prefrontal cortex increases.

500

how are adults affected by the limbic system

These structures are known to be involved in the processing and regulating of emotions, the formation and storage of memories, sexual arousa.

DOPAMINE

100

[ what is dopamine?]

{Dopamine is a neurotransmitter.}

200

[When is dopamine released?]

 {Dopamine is released when your brain is expecting a reward.}

300

what does dopamine do to a teenager.

It can make them more pieced toward thing they find enjoyable.

400

what triggers dopamine release.

the feeling of enjoying something.

500

Does dopamine have the same effect on teens and adults?

   The growth of more dopamine receptors during adolescence as well as an enhanced dopamine.

PREFRONTAL CORTEX

100

when does the pre-frontal cortex fully develop

The development and maturation of the prefrontal cortex occurs primarily during adolescence and is fully accomplished at the age of 25 year old.

200

where is the prefrontal cortex located in the brain

The prefrontal cortex is a part of the brain located at the front of the frontal lobe. It is implicated in a variety of complex behaviors, including planning, and greatly contributes to personality development.

300

what does the prefrontal cortex control

it controls the cognitive control function

400

how is the teenage brain affected by the prefrontal cortex

As the prefrontal cortex matures, teenagers can reason better, develop more control over impulses and make judgments better.

500

how are adults affected by the prefrontal cortex

The prefrontal cortex also plays a big role in personality development. It helps people make conscious decisions according to their motivations.
