友誼係點樣影響你嘅大腦

如果喺青春期形成嘅友誼睇起嚟尤其特別，噉係因為佢哋確實係特別。童年、青春期同成年嘅友誼都有唔同嘅表現，部分原因係大腦喺呢個人生階段以唔同方式運作。喺青春期，你重視、理解同聯繫朋友嘅方式發生咗變化。Shannon Odell探討咗關於友誼嘅神經科學。

Adolescent friendships are uniquely powerful, rooted in dramatic brain changes that heighten the value and intensity of peer connections. Teens often feel as if they are perfectly in sync, laughing harder and sharing more deeply than at any other life stage. Scientific studies show that areas like the ventral striatum become extra active, making time with friends especially rewarding. The growing ability to understand others’ emotions and perspectives, known as Theory of Mind, allows teenage bonds to become more intimate and meaningful.
