Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason behind the differential performance of prefrontal cortex in teenager versus an adult.
Concept introduction:
The cerebral hemisphere is divided into five anatomical lobes. The names of lobes are frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, and insula. The frontal lobe is present deep in the frontal bone of the cranium.

Positive experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas negative experiences do not.
Negative experiences influence prenatal brain development, whereas positive experiences do not.
Gene expression cannot be altered by prenatal experiences but can be altered after a child is born.
Why are the different regions of the cerebellum involved in this complex motor learning? What might prevent someone from being able to learn to ride a bike? Are there disorders that might prevent this kind of motor function? Is there a correlation between the learning age and the stage of physical development?
