The role of puberty in the developing adolescent brain
Open accessAbstract
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 puberty, which brings dramatic alterations in hormone levels and a number of consequent physical changes. Puberty onset is also associated with profound changes in drives, motivations, psychology, and social life; these changes continue throughout adolescence. There is an increasing number of neuroimaging studies looking at the development of the brain, both structurally and functionally, during adolescence. Almost all of these studies have defined development by chronological age, which shows a strong-but not unitary-correlation with pubertal stage. Very few neuroimaging studies have associated brain development with pubertal stage, and yet there is tentative evidence to suggest that puberty might play an important role in some aspects of brain and cognitive development. In this paper we describe this research, and we suggest that, in the future, developmental neuroimaging studies of adolescence should consider the role of puberty.

Pubertal hormones trigger changes in neural structure and function, especially in dopamine-rich limbic regions associated with reward processing.
“Around age 12 (for boys) or 11 (for girls), pubertal hormones inundate the brain, triggering a series of changes in neural structure and function (Euling et al., 2008, Schulz et al., 2009), especially in dopamine-rich limbic regions associated with reward processing (Blakemore et al., 2010, Sinclair et al., 2014).”

Adolescents exhibit enhanced reactivity in mPFC during mentalizing, relative to adults.
“A relatively consistent pattern in this line of inquiry is that adolescents exhibit enhanced reactivity in mPFC during mentalizing, relative to adults (Blakemore, 2008; Blakemore et al., 2007; Blakemore et al., 2010; Burnett et al., 2008; Gunther Moor et al., 2012; Pfeifer et al., 2009; Pfeifer & Blakemore, 2012; van den Bos et al., 2011; Wang et al., 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
