SUMMARY: Development of the social brain in adolescence and effects of soc
 ial distancing  - Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore

DESCRIPTION:Adolescence is a period of life characterised by heightened se
 nsitivity to social stimuli\, an increased need for peer interaction and p
 eer acceptance\, and development of the social brain. Lockdown and social 
 distancing measures intended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 are reduci
 ng the opportunity to engage in face-to-face social interaction with peers
 . The consequences of social distancing on human social brain and social c
 ognitive development are unknown\, but animal research has shown that soci
 al deprivation and isolation have unique effects on brain and behaviour in
  adolescence compared with other stages of life. It is possible that socia
 l distancing might have a disproportionate effect on an age group for whom
  peer interaction is a vital aspect of development.\n\n"Click here to regi
