Being overweight in early childhood has been linked to the early onset of puberty. Why is this? What is the significance that the onset of puberty is starting younger in age but that the rate of cognitive maturation is sta...
Approximately, 25% of babies show an accelerated weight gain (AWG) during the first two postnatal years (6), and there are studies suggesting that the rate of weight gain during early childhood in girls may influence the timing of puberty (6,7,8). Although, the biological mechanisms of thi...
Pregnancy is a period of profound hormonal and physiological changes experienced by millions of women annually, yet the neural changes unfolding in the maternal brain throughout gestation are not well studied in humans. Leveraging precision imaging, we m
Sex determination and the regulation of sexual maturity onset (“puberty”) are still largely unknown for arapaima10 because occasional reproduction in ponds so far has not provided enough information to establish captive breeding and aquaculture11. Arapaima is a fractional spawner and maturation of the...

With the onset of puberty, there are changes in innate circadian rhythms that lead to a delay in the habitual timing of sleep onset [2]. As school start times are not correspondingly later, this leads to a reduction in the time available for sleep and is consequently thought to contribute ...
adolescence,time of life from onset of puberty to full adulthood. The exact period of adolescence, which varies from person to person, falls approximately between the ages 12 and 20 and encompasses both physiological and psychological changes. Physiological changes lead to sexual maturity and usually...
