they don't have their frontal lobes to reason.he cause and effect and consequences of actions are not clear to them because their frontal lobes are not at the ready. there's not as readily accessible. the connections can be made as quickly for split-second decisions. also don't forget a lot of the hormones are changing in the body of those young men and women and the brain hasn't been seen these yet in life until you hit teenage years. the brain is trying to learn how to respond to these new hormones that are rolling around and locking onto receptors synapses of different types to its trial and error. i think this contributes to this very rollercoaster kind of experience that we watch as parents. c-span: what was it like raising your two sons? >> guest: i loved every minute of it. it was a journey of my life. i really enjoyed it. i have tried to turn what could have been anger into curiosity. because it was sort of a natural thing. i was just really interested. c-span: were with the anger come from? >> guest: anger and being frust

the brain you see here is missing 20% of its frontal lobe. frontal lobe is the part of the brain that helps us make decisions about right and wrong and allows us to control our impulses. they say the frontal lobe is the home of executive function. by which you get to the boss of yourself, you get to control yourself, the frontal lobe. this brain is missing 20% of the frontal lobe. missing a little less than 8% of its overall mass. a big chunk of that brain is just gone. kind of scary to see, right? that's a living person. and that wrecked looking brain belongs to this living man. he's a prisoner on death row in missouri. his name is ceasecil clayton. he lost a big chunk of his brain in a saw mill accident in 1972. he was running a saw and a chunk of wood broke free from the saw and smashed through his skull. surgeons did emergency brain surgery. they were able to save his life but they had to cut out a fifth of his frontal lobe in order to save him. after that accident, cecil clayton's i.q. plummeted to the level of being disabled. he apparen
