Description:	Medicine for the Public 2002 Lecture Series Any parent of a teenager can attest to the fact that the brain of a 13-year-old is different than the brain of a 9-year-old. Yet to actually pin down those differences in a scientific way has been elusive. Magnetic resonance imaging has changed that. It safely provides exquisitely accurate pictures of the living, growing brain and has launched a new era of adolescent neuroscience. Dr. Giedd will explore recent findings from brain imaging and the implications these findings have for parents, teachers, society, and the teens themselves. Jay Giedd, M.D. Chief Brain Imaging Child Psychiatry Branch National Institute of Mental Health
