Did you know that your brain physically changes every time you learn something? When you are young, the brain grows and changes most rapidly as you learn everything for the first time. Yet key functions of planning and self-control only develop late in adolescence. Armed with the knowledge of how the young brain develops, how can we nurture our children today to ensure their success in the future? Join experts from the University of Pennsylvania and Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania to explore how the brain develops”from infancy to adolescence”and discuss how this knowledge can be used to inform and improve education.
