Can you name a function in that area that would be affected in the Teen Brain?

One key function affected in the teen brain is decision-making. During adolescence, the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for rational thought and impulse control, is still developing, while the amygdala, linked to emotions and rewards, is more active. This imbalance can lead to riskier behaviors and impulsive decisions as teens may prioritize immediate rewards over long-term consequences.
