Jennifer Senior Quotes

Researchers Have Discovered That Adolescents Do Not Walk Around With A Defect That Prevents Them From Properly Assessing Risk. B. J. Casey, A Neuroscientist At Weill Medical College Of Cornell University, Notes That It's Just The Opposite: Adolescents Overestimate Risk, At Least When It Comes To Situations Involving Their Own Mortality. The Real Problem Is That They Assign A Greater Value To The Reward They Will Get From Taking That Risk Than Adults Do. It Turns Out That Dopamine, The Hormone That Signals Pleasure, Is Never So Explosively Active In Human Beings As It Is During Puberty. Never Over The Course Of Our Lives Will We Feel Anything Quite So Intensely, Or Quite So Exultantly, Again.
