How does the body know to grow? What happens on the inside that makes us change on the outside? If you think about any complex process, it usually requires an organized system to manage all the moving parts. When you listen to a symphony, for example, many different instruments must play the right notes at the right times to produce the beautiful m...
Puberty is the name we give to a series of hormone-driven changes that happen in our bodies right before and during adolescence, the time when we grow from children into adults (Figure 2). The shape, size, and composition of our bodies change as we progress toward sexual maturity, which is the ability of an organism to reproduce. Our moods and beha...
On average, puberty occurs between ages 10 and 14 in girls and between ages 12 and 16 in boys. There is a lot of variation in the timing of puberty across individuals. Scientists have found that the onset, duration, and tempo of puberty can be influenced by factors like a person’s cultural background, education level, body composition, and genes. I...
Puberty is a dynamic transition period that prepares us for the adult world. Yet, even as adults, life is constantly in flux and our brains need ways of adapting to these ongoing changes. The same hormones that help shape the brain and body during puberty are actually at play throughout the entire lifespan! Even before birth, testosterone and estro...
Ultimately, what we currently know about how pubertal hormones affect the brain is only the tip of the iceberg. Studying this topic is a bit like trying to understand how a symphony is played without being able to see the orchestra. We hear the music—meaning we see children pass through puberty and develop into adults—but we do not quite understand...
The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.

Developmental science, particularly developmental neuroscience, has substantially influenced the modern legal system. However, this science has typically failed to consider the role of puberty and pubertal hormones on development when considering antisocial behavior. This review describes major theoretical positions on the developmental ...
Abstract. "Raging hormones" used to be blamed for much adolescent behavior. Recent research discoveries, however, have uncovered remarkable developmental transformations in the adolescent brain—knowledge that is revolutionizing our understanding of why adolescents behave the way they do.

13. Apr. 2016 · Having hormones raging through your body is not all bad news. National guide. Hormones are vital, and that they can become a little imbalanced is something we have to live with. But when does an imbalance become so large that it is defined as an illness?
The "raging hormones" of puberty are known to produce mood swings and stress for most teenagers, making it difficult to cope with this period of life. Until now, the specific causes of...
