Evidence of continued neurobiological maturation through adolescence is increasingly invoked in discussions of youth-focused policies. This should motivate neuroscientists to grapple with core issues such as the definition of brain maturation, how to quantify it, and how to precisely translate this knowledge to broader audiences.
越来越多的讨论将青少年为重点的政策与持续的神经生物学成熟的证据联系起来。这应该促使神经科学家去解决核心问题,如大脑成熟的定义、如何对其进行量化,以及如何将这些知识精确地传达给更广泛的受众。
