What is intuition? And how can gut feelings influence science? Known for her extensive research into adolescent brain development, neuroscientist Eveline Crone proposes that intuition is an aspect of the mind worth studying and embracing. In her scientific career, her own gut feelings have often led the way to new insights.

In The Guts of the Neuroscientist, Crone takes us on a journey through an abstract landscape of morphing white lines as she contemplates the development and the future of neuroscience.

About Eveline Crone

Eveline Crone (1975) researches the development of the adolescent brain. She has shown that pleasure and rewards systems develop much faster than those parts of the brain that are important for impulse control and long-term planning. Using both fMRI-scans and qualitative research, Crone charts how the adolescent brain develops in areas such as self-image, risk-taking, friendship, exclusion and creativity.
