What's behind Bieber Fever? Neuroscience offers an explanation: fans of Justin Bieber may be going through natural biological and emotional developmental stages.

Adolescent girls are likely to become infatuated with pop stars, experts say, because they are awakening to romantic and sexual feelings that are both intoxicating and scary. Having a crush on a celebrity is a way to try out such feelings at a safe distance.
