Answer:

C. The maturing of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

Explanation:

The frontal lobe is a crucial part of our brain. It plays a great role in attention and memory. Attention is the worthy part of the frontal lobe. Dorso-lateral-prefrontal-cortex is a very new and recently developed part of the brain. This is the part that does not get the information from the sensory part eye and ear. It does not send information of motor neurons to the brain.

It is only the association between output and the input cortex. The injury and lack of development in this area cause problems in memory, attention.  

Thus here in a teenager, Leonard's behavior is the result to engage in the maturing of the dorso-lateral-prefrontal-cortex.

How has the past affected the present in Israel and Palestine?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Please read it before you write it you can make this a little shorter ✨

The Israeli–Palestinian conflict is the ongoing struggle between Israelis and Palestinians that began in the mid-20th century amidst the greater Arab–Israeli conflict.Various attempts have been made to resolve the conflict as part of the Israeli–Palestinian peace process.

The origins to the conflict can be traced back to Jewish immigration and sectarian conflict in Mandatory Palestine between Jews and Arabs.It has been referred to as the world's "most intractable conflict," with the ongoing Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip reaching 53 years.

Despite a long-term peace process and the general reconciliation of Israel with Egypt and Jordan, Israelis and Palestinians have failed to reach a final peace agreement. The key issues are mutual recognition and security, borders, water rights, control of Jerusalem, Israeli settlements, Palestinian freedom of movement,and Palestinian right of return. The violence of the conflict, in a region rich in sites of historic, cultural and religious interest worldwide, has been the subject of numerous international conferences dealing with historic rights, security issues and human rights, and has been a factor hampering tourism in and general access to areas that are hotly contested.[ Many attempts have been made to broker a two-state solution, involving the creation of an independent Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel (after Israel's establishment in 1948). In 2007, the majority of both Israelis and Palestinians, according to a number of polls, preferred the two-state solution over anytime other solution as a means of resolving the conflict.
