The Adolescent Brain - An Overview of the Compendium with Nikola Balvin

In the first of a two-part series, we sit down with Nikola Balvin, who served as the lead editor on the Adolescent Brain compendium we’ll be discussing today, to discuss the background of the publication, the symposium that preceded it, and emerging ideas in adolescent neuroscience research today. In part two of this series on, we’ll be speaking with Ron Dahl, a key contributor to the compendium from the UC Berkeley Center on the Developing Adolescent, specifically about the windows of opportunity and positive and negative spirals.
