Age-related changes in insula cortical thickness and impulsivity: Significance for emotional development and decision-making
Open accessAbstract
Insula function has been associated with emotional regulation, adjusting to changing outcomes under risk, reward and loss anticipation, discounting of future rewards, and self-rated impulsivity. The role of the insula in these processes may be fundamentally related to prospective thinking, a trait that increases with age. There is evidence that insular cortical thickness shows age related decreases that parallel age related increases in future orientation and planning. We tested the hypothesis that nonplanning decreases with age and that insula thickness is related to both age and nonplanning impulsivity. Fifty-nine male and female participants, ranging in age from 10 to 22 years old, underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures and were assessed using the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS). We observed that anterior insula thickness and nonplanning impulsivity show an inverse relationship with age and that there is a significant positive linear relationship between anterior insula thickness and nonplanning.

In the citing paper
“The crux of the dual system hypothesis is that the maturational imbalance during adolescence between heightened sensation seeking and a still-maturing capacity for self-regulation makes adolescents particularly susceptible to engage in risky behaviors [for review, see 25].”

In the citing paper
“Current developmental theories posit that increases in risky behaviors during adolescence are a result of the maturational imbalance between neural systems underlying sensation-seeking and self-regulatory behaviors, which leads adolescents to disproportionately activate appetitive, reward-seeking circuitry rather than deliberative, cognitive control circuitry during risky decision making,”

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.
