 Is it true that the "Teenage" brain is different from the "Adult" brain? I mean, in capabilities, ways of processing information, maturity, knowledge, etc. What are the main difference, if there are any type of particular differences at all?
Yes, there are quite a few differences. The adult brain is has less gray matter and is more efficient at processing information. Not to mention, adults have a larger vocabulary and more experiences to connect information together.
Actually, the brain does not "release" hormones. It sends signals to the endocrine system (glands) which send hormones into the body. Although this may be a factor especially in areas such as sexual relationships, it is not directly related to the brain and how it develops.
Yes, it does. Just not all hormones. If not neurons of the hypothalamus, where do TRH, GnRH, CRH, GHRH, Somatostatin, Dopamine, Vasopressin and Oxytocin come from? Also how do you think the brain 'signals' the release of certain endocrine hormones? Magic(as opposed to its own hormones)?
i need to get someone over from youthrights.org to refute this 'undeveloped brain' crap
I can see your bias, you've already reached a conclusion but can not state by yourself the premises. Not to mention, you have to audacity to assert that a teen with no more that 12 years of general education can refute the professional opinion of a group of highly educated, highly trained scientist who have studied this topic most of their adult lives in greater detail than those teens can ever imagine.

Yes, the prefrontal cortex (responsible for planning, inhibition and forethought) is not fully developed until around 25.
