Development of the adolescent brain: implications for executive function and social cognition
Open accessAbstract
Adolescence is a time of considerable development at the level of behaviour, cognition and the brain. This article reviews histological and brain imaging studies that have demonstrated specific changes in neural architecture during puberty and adolescence, outlining trajectories of grey and white matter development. The implications of brain development for executive functions and social cognition during puberty and adolescence are discussed. Changes at the level of the brain and cognition may map onto behaviours commonly associated with adolescence. Finally, possible applications for education and social policy are briefly considered.

“The gradual decrease in grey matter density that occurs after puberty in certain brain regions has been attributed to post-pubescent synaptic pruning (Giedd et al., 1999a;Sowell et al., 2001;Gogtay et al., 2004).”

The Abstract describes regional gray-matter density loss after puberty. The Discussion says the cause is unknown but explicitly proposes synaptic pruning as a possible partial explanation, matching the claim that the loss has been attributed to pruning.

The paper’s opening summary (page not available) reports that adolescents showed less recruitment of the right ventral striatum and right-extended amygdala than young adults while anticipating responses for monetary gains versus nongains. The claim paraphrases this finding, though it shortens “right-extended amygdala” to “right amygdala.” (LLM, conf=0.93)

The paper states that brain activation after gain outcomes did not appreciably differ between adolescents and young adults. The Discussion also reports similar gain-notification responses in both groups, while distinguishing these from the group difference during gain anticipation. (LLM, conf=0.94)

“Thus, rather than a simple linear change in grey matter with age, studies suggest perturbation in grey matter density development that more or less coincides with the onset of puberty.At puberty, grey matter volume in the frontal lobe reaches a peak, followed by a plateau after puberty and then a decline throughout adolescence continuing until early adulthood.”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
