around adolescence

Answer 2

In the brain, nerve cells, or neurons, grow new connections, which resemble branches on a tree. These branches send and receive signals, and their growth is vital to normal brain function; the more branches there are, the more sites by which a neuron can send and receive information. "While you're an adult, your brain doesn't just stop growing and doesn't just stop making new connections. It actually forms new connections all the time," says Bonnie Firestein, professor of cell biology and neuroscience at Rutgers University. "We know that when you're learning something, you have new connections made. So, the brain is constantly growing and constantly changing."
