Over the past two decades, there has been a tremendous increase in our understanding of
structural and functional brain development in adolescence. However, understanding the …

Adolescence refers to the period of physical and psychological development between
childhood and adulthood. The beginning of adolescence is loosely anchored to the onset of …

In recent years, neuroimaging techniques have shown that the development of the human
brain is far more protracted than previously thought (see Paus, 2005, for review). In …

Adolescence is a transitional period of physical and behavioral development between
childhood and adulthood. Puberty is a distinct period of sexual maturation that occurs during …

The brain undergoes extensive structural changes during adolescence, concurrent to
puberty-related physical and hormonal changes. While animal research suggests these …

Puberty is characterized by hormonal, physical and psychological transformation. The
human brain undergoes significant changes between childhood and adulthood, but little is …

Alongside the exponential flourish of research on age-related trajectories of human brain
development during childhood and adolescence in the past two decades, there has been an …

Puberty reflects a period of hormonal changes, physical maturation and structural brain
reorganization. However, little attention has been paid to what extent sex steroids and …

Emerging evidence in the field of adolescent neurodevelopment suggests that pubertal
processes may contribute to known trajectories of brain maturation, and may contribute, in …

It has been postulated that pubertal hormones may drive some neuroanatomical changes
during adolescence, and may do so differently in girls and boys. Here, we use growth curve …
