In the Middle: The adolescent brain, behaviour and learning explores current research into brain development in adolescence and the changes in the brain as humans move into adulthood. This book seeks to use neuroscience to help parents, teachers and adults better understand the changes that occur in the brain during the transition from childhood to adulthood. By understanding the science, we gain an opportunity to not only contribute positively to adolescent behaviour and learning but also enhance the day-to-day interactions and relationships that are vital to adolescent wellbeing.

Following on from In the Beginning: The brain, early development and learning, In the Middle provides a wealth of information for a diverse readership - including health professionals, teachers and parents - with a shared interest in understanding the needs of young people and helping them realise their potential.

Key features:

Covers chronological development from pubescence to early adulthood
Draws on latest international research linking adolescent development and neuroscience
Focus on adolescent behaviour and how to understand and support adolescents
Highly accessible, engaging style that renders the science meaningful to a non-scientific market
