What helps and hurts the teenage brain? A revolutionary new study hopes to find out how kids’ minds are shaped during this crucial and turbulent stage of life.

Researchers are following more than 11,000 children for the next decade, studying how dozens of factors — including drugs and alcohol, diet and exercise, screen time, academic and social stress, sleep patterns, sibling and parent relationships — impact their brains.

As part of TODAY's "Brain Power" series, NBC special anchor Maria Shriver talked with 9-year-old Nick and 10-year-old Gemma, who are both taking part in the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development Study, or “ABCD,” launched by the National Institutes of Health.

Nick thinks his brain is “a very big one,” while Gemma calls hers “really cool” and the most important part of her body. Experts say they and the other young participants will provide important clues to how modern childhood impacts teens.

“It's a little frightening that we have all these children today who are spending 10 hours a day in front of a screen for their socialization, and we don't know what's going to happen to their brains or how that's going to affect their relationships when they get older,” said Susan Bookheimer, one of the study's lead investigators and a professor of cognitive neuroscience at UCLA.

Mysteries of the Teenage Brain

“Over the years, we’ve learned that adolescence is an incredibly important time for brain development, when the brain is particularly malleable and receptive to its environment...But we only have broad brush strokes. We need a clearer picture.”

INC Executive Director and former ICS Director Dr. Marie Banich was profiled in the Coloradan this month about her life's work, and how teenagers and young adults think and act differently from grownups.

"In a series of studies in the early 2000s funded by the MacArthur Foundation, Banich and colleagues showed that teens lack a mature ability to conceptualize the future, have less self-control, are less organized in their decision making, are more vulnerable to peer pressure — and are much more sensitive to reward than to punishment. By the early-to-mid 20s, these traits tend to fade. Said Banich, “In adolescence, the carrot is huge and the stick is practically invisible.” Work by her and others helped influence the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2005 decision to abolish the death penalty for juveniles and 2010 decision to eliminate, for them, most life sentences without parole."
