patients (P.B. and F.C.) who had become severely amnesic following unilateral removal of the medial structures of the left temporal lobe for the treatment of epileptic seizures (Penfield and Milner‚ 1958). This unfortunate outcome was entirely unexpected‚ and it was proposed that in each case there had been a preexistent‚ but unsuspected‚ atrophic lesion in the medial temporal lobe of the opposite hemisphere. In that way‚ the unilateral surgery would have resulted in a bilateral lesion‚ an idea that was confirmed

Adults have mature frontal lobes‚ as opposed to teenagers with non-developed and immature frontal lobes. Although the brain maturity in teens is an issue‚ adults continue to be biased regarding teenage crimes. Adults must consider brain development in teenagers when any teen is being accused of a crime.

(Stark 2). Researchers studying the brain say the last section to develop‚ the frontal lobes‚ may not mature until a person is age 25 or older. You could say the frontal lobe is the executive center of the brain‚ the part of the brain that ’s responsible for planning‚ organizing‚ anticipating the consequences of one ’s actions. I am not suggesting raising the age to 25‚ but my studies have shown that the frontal lobe matures 60% in the one year between 16 and 17. Therefore I believe raising the permit
