This article fascinated
me...It talks
about research done that shows the changes that happen in the brain
during adolescent years, as opposed to early childhood, and how that is
one of the most crucial times of development and affects us throughout
life. I always wondered why I had more memories in general from the year
I turned 12, as well as why things that happened then seemed to affect me more than anything previous to that. Now it is starting to make sense.
