Brain development begins before birth and continues long into early adulthood and perhaps even later. Along with the postnatal period, adolescence is an active and important time period for the development of brain structures. The brain is primarily composed of two tissue types, gray matter and ...
The current generation of adolescents grows up in a media-saturated world. However, it is unclear how media influences the maturational trajectories of brain regions involved in social interactions. Here we review the neural development in adolescence an
Brain development during adolescence: red brain regions belong to the “conservative” pattern of adolescent development, while the blue brain regions belong to the “disruptive” pattern. Credit: Frantisek Vasa New brain networks come 'online' during adolescence, allowing teenagers to develop more comp...
Childhood environment and socioeconomic status affect cognitive ability and brain development during adolescence independently of genetic factors, researchers at Karolinska Institutet report in a new study published in the journalPNAS. The study demonstrates how important the family environment is, not just ...
1. During adolescence, what is thought to be happening to the area of the brain that is controlling behaviour? 2. How have ideas about early brain development changed? 3. What tasks does the prefrontal cortex part of the brain affect?
SHANGHAI, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- Abnormal brain structure during adolescence might foreshadow a higher risk of schizophrenia in adulthood, according to a recent Chinese study. Scientists from the Institute of Science and Technology for Brain-inspired Intelligence of Fudan University have discovered that ...
groups, diverse disease populations, and various age ranges spanning the entire lifespan. This expansion can be facilitated by leveraging the resources of large-scale brain imaging genetic consortia like ADNI40, focused on Alzheimer’s disease, and ABCD80, which centers on brain development during ...

Adolescent brain development, the prefrontal cortex and changed decision making, and how caregivers can support teen mental health through adolescence.
Volumetric measures broadly show that white matter volume increases linearly during the first two or three decades of life, while grey matter volume peaks in mid- to late childhood, and decreases during adolescence [3, 4]. Functional brain development Neuroimaging techniques have allowed the ...
