We know that Piaget's theories are predicated on physical development, yet Piaget did not have the benefit of magnetic resonance imaging and examining the living human brain as is possible today. Consider the adolescent brain as described by Blakemore:

• Why do adolescent brains exhibit a loss of gray matter according to Blakemore and why is that not a cause of concern?
• What are the functions of the prefrontal cortex?
• How are those functions compromised during adolescence and why?
