Changes in many domains of cognition occur with development. In this paper, we discuss
neuroimaging approaches to understanding these changes at a neural level. We highlight …

Adolescence has been characterized by risk-taking behaviors that can lead to fatal
outcomes. This study examined the neurobiological development of neural systems …

Why is adolescence an “age of risk” for onset of bipolar spectrum disorders? We discuss
three clinical phenomena of bipolar disorder associated with adolescence (adolescent age …

The ability to manipulate information in working memory is a key factor in cognitive
development. Here, we used event-related functional MRI to test the hypothesis that …

We examined the functional role of white matter growth in cognitive development.
Specifically, we used hierarchical regression analyses to test the unique contributions of age …

During development, children improve at retrieving and using rules to guide their behavior
and at flexibly switching between these rules. In this study, we used functional magnetic …

An emerging theory of adolescent development suggests that brain maturation involves a
progressive “frontalization” of function whereby the prefrontal cortex gradually assumes …

BACKGROUND: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a heritable
neuropsychiatric disorder, associated with atypical patterns of brain activation in functional …

Background: Maturation of prefrontal circuits during adolescence contributes to the
development of cognitive processes such as decision‐making. Recent theories suggest that …

There is no single methodology that can fully explain the nature of human development and
learning. Yet, headway is being made on how cognitive milestones are achieved during …
