Neuro-imagerie ; Psychobiologie du développement ; Enfants - Développement ; Adolescence

Les progrès importants dans les domaines des neurosciences, de la génétique, de l'imagerie cérébrale, du développement de l'enfant nécessitent une approche synthétique. Le professeur Cohen pose les bases de celle-ci en refusant une tradition hiérarchique de ces différentes avancées, le biologique, le génétique et l'environnement étant étroitement liés. Des interactions fécondes nous permettent de mieux comprendre le développement humain ainsi que les différentes pathologies de l'enfant et de l'adolescent. Dans cette période de construction de l'individu du fœtus à l'adolescent, les interactions d'une génétique du risque avec la plasticité cérébrale répondent aux facteurs environnementaux, en conditionnant le devenir de l'individu.
David Cohen nous l'explique de façon claire en nous donnant des exemples précis. Il tire des conséquences sur notre approche clinique des pathologies de l'enfant ainsi que des modalités de prévention.
David Cohen est chef du Service de Psychiatrie de l'Enfant et de l'Adolescent au groupe hospitalier Pitié-Salpêtrière à Paris.

Psychobiologie du développement ; Neurologie du développement ; Adolescents - Psychologie ; Cerveau - Croissance

Dr. Frances E. Jensen is chair of the department of neurology in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and an internationally known expert in neurology and the teenage brain. As a mother, teacher, researcher, clinician and frequent lecturer to parents and teens, she is in a unique position to explain to readers the mystery and magic of the teen brain. In The Teenage Brain, Dr. Jensen will bring to readers the new, sometimes astonishing findings that remain buried in academic journals. Along the way, she will explore a few myths about adolescent behaviour and offer pointers and practical suggestions on how to negotiate this difficult and dynamic life stage for parents, teachers and even teens themselves.
The Teenage Brain is one of the first books to focus exclusively on the mind development of adolescents and will dispel the many widespread misunderstandings about teenage brains. Samples of some of the most recent findings that will be discussed in the book include:
-Teens are better learners than adults because their brain cells more readily "build" memories than adults. But this special gift has a downside: their heightened adaptability can be hijacked by addiction, and the adolescent brain can become addicted more strongly and for a longer duration than the adult brain.
-Venus and Mars really emerge in adolescence. In fact, studies show that girls' brains are a full two years more mature than boys' brains in the mid-teens, possibly explaining differences seen in the classroom, as well as in their social behaviour.
-Contrary to popular opinion, adolescents may not be as resilient to the effects of drugs as we think they are. Recent experimental and human studies show that occasional use of marijuana, for instance, can cause lingering memory problems, even days after smoking, and that long-term use of pot impacts later adulthood IQ.
-Multi-tasking causes divided attention and has been shown to reduce learning ability in the teenage brain. Multi-tasking also has some addictive qualities, which may result in habitual short attention in teenagers.
-Emotionally stressful situations may impact the adolescent more than the adult: stress in these years can have permanent effects on mental health and has been reported to lead to higher risk of developing certain neuropsychiatric disorders, such as depression.

The book will present hard data intermingled with accessible and relatable anecdotes drawn from Dr. Jensen's experiences as a parent, clinician and public speaker. Finally, The Teenage Brain will offer practical suggestions for how parents, teens, schools and even the legal system can better deal with adolescents on their journey into adulthood.

Adolescents - Psychologie ; Neurophysiologie ; Psychobiologie du développement ; Psychophysiologie

Understanding the role of brain changes in adolescent behavior and development. Linda Spear provides a detailed and illuminating overview of the genetic, hormonal, and neurological developments that take place during adolescence, and shows how these changes, along with influential sociocultural factors, interact to produce distinctly adolescent behaviors and thought processes. The tension between taking risks, impulsivity, and self-control―a struggle evinced by many adolescents, especially those in therapeutic treatment―is also examined for its sources within the brain. The result is a fascinating overview of the adolescent brain, with profound implications for the clinical treatment of adolescents.

Psychobiologie du développement ; Psychophysiologie ; Enfants - Développement ; Enfants - Psychologie

Until now, individuals interested in measuring biological signals non-invasively from typically developing children had few places to turn to find an overview of theory, methods, measures, and applications related to psychophysiology recordings in children. This volume briefly surveys the primary methods of psychophysiology that have been applied to developmental psychology research, what they have accomplished, and where the future lies. It outlines the practical issues that active developmental psychophysiology laboratories encounter and some solutions to deal with them. Developmental psychophysiology holds the key to forming the interface between structure and function necessary for the growth of developmental psychology.
