Navigating Puberty
Although we often discuss how puberty affects the body, we tend to overlook the intriguing changes that take place in the brain. My purpose here is to discuss puberty with you. While going through puberty, your reproductive organs develop and mature, allowing you to become a sexually mature adult. Puberty brings about a variety of changes in the body that can seem almost magical. However, what many people don't realize is that puberty actually begins in the brain. Typically, puberty is initiated when a specialized hormone is released in waves from a region of the brain known as the hypothalamus. This usually occurs between the ages of 9 and 14. Unfortunately, as much as we may wish to go to bed as a child and wake up as an adult, the maturation process is gradual, and puberty can last for up to 4 to 5 years. During this prolonged period, the brain undergoes its own transformation, which is largely driven by two key players in puberty - estrogen and testosterone.
