In the new film Inside Out 2, main character Riley is becoming a teenager and going through some emotional growing pains.

One of the things that happens when you become a teenager is that the brain develops and becomes more sophisticated.

And so with that comes the arrival of self-conscious emotions.

It's Monday, June 17th, and you're listening to Science Friday.

I'm sci-frag producer Rasha Iridi.

Remember the 2015 Pixar film Inside Out?

In it, we met 11-year-old Riley Anderson and her team of emotions, joy, sadness, fear,

disgust, and anger, each represented by a different character. Now, in its sequel, Inside Out 2,

Riley gets a new team of emotions, the not-so-fun kind that can make up teenage angst. So what's the science behind the

teenage mind and how accurate is the film? Here's guest host Annie Minoff.

Riley's emotions live in her mind, known as Headquarters in the film, where they help direct

her emotional responses and actions. And towards the end of that movie, you might remember that Headquarters was undergoing a little light renovation.

All right, here you go.

Your new expanded console is up and running.

Hey.

Oh, whoops.

Wait, did I just do that?

Hey, guys, what's puberty?

I don't know.
