[Margaret Pilkington]

I was thinking about the prefrontal cortex stuff...and it made me wonder how the young lads in the trenches of WW1 went on.
It also made me wonder about court cases regarding the competence of adolescents to take legal and medical decisions for themselves.
It also made me wonder if the prefrontal cortex development is enhanced by having experiences which relate to life and consequences.
Certainly, growing up we (my brothers and I )were taught about consequences of actions.

I have now been able to view the Youtube stuff(changed my security settings temporarily) and agree with the second clip which says 'There is still a lot we don't know about the workings of the brain'.

Sometimes experts tell us things and then they find out something else which tosses their first ideas into the rubbish bin.
