青春因何迷茫? 家长应该淡定些

吉德说，大脑发育在成年初期尚未完成这一事实“是发生在人类身上最好的事情”，因为它可以让我们适应变化的环境，“我们可以弄清楚自己生活在什么样的世界之中以及自己真正需要什么样的一技之长。”

The front part of the brain, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last brain regions to mature. It is the area responsible for planning, prioritizing and controlling impulses.

大脑前部称为前额皮质的部分是最后成熟的大脑区域之一。这个区域负责规划、优选和控制神经冲动。

By the late 20s, 'there's better communication between parts of the brain that process emotions and social information - like what people think of you - and the parts that are important for planning ahead and balancing risk and reward,' says developmental psychologist Laurence Steinberg of Temple University.

美国天普大学（Temple University）的发展心理学家劳伦斯・斯坦伯格（Laurence Steinberg）说，到了20岁年龄段的后期，“大脑中处理情感和社交信息──比如人们对你的看法──的部分与大脑中重点负责事先规划、平衡风险与回报的部分之间建立了更好的连接。”

How can emerging adults maximize their brain potential in this period? 'Things that are cognitively stimulating are important,' says Dr. Steinberg. 'Watching talking cats on YouTube isn't as good for cognitive development as reading or taking classes.'
