Being Left Out: Neurobiological Correlates of Social Rejection and their Developmental Trajectory (2011, unknown): “The few functional neuroimaging studies attempting to study the neural mechanisms underlying social and affective processes in adolescence, showed immature prefrontal cortex activity and enhanced responses in subcortical brain regions, suggesting an intensification of emotional experience and an imm”

Social cognitive development during adolescence. (2006, result): “While viewing faces with fearful emotional expressions, compared with adults, adolescents exhibited greater activation of the amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) (Monk et al. 2003).”
The adolescent brain. (2008, background): “Differential recruitment of prefrontal and subcortical regions has been reported across a number of developmental fMRI studies (Casey et al., 2002b; Monk et al., 2003; Thomas et al., 2004).”
A time of change: behavioral and neural correlates of adolescent sensitivity to appetitive and aversive environmental cues. (2010, background): “Subsequent experiments including an adult comparison group reported that adolescents elicited a greater amygdala response magnitude to negatively valenced facial expressions relative to adults (Guyer, Monk, et al., 2008; Monk et al., 2003).”
Beyond simple models of self-control to circuit-based accounts of adolescent behavior. (2015, background): “Across these studies the magnitude of brain activity to expressions of potential threat (negative facial faces) appears to be higher in adolescents than in adults (Baird et al. 1999, Guyer et al. 2008, Monk et al. 2003).”
I Know You Are But What Am I?!: Neural Bases of Self- and Social Knowledge Retrieval in Children and Adults (2007, background): “What then is occurring in the brains of children as they reflect on their own selves, in comparison to thinking about the attributes of other people? To our knowledge, no neuroimaging study has been conducted examining self- or social knowledge retrieval processes in children, although several studi”
A Review of Adversity, The Amygdala and the Hippocampus: A Consideration of Developmental Timing (2009, unknown): “…experiments with adolescents (e.g., pairing a neutral cue with an air blast directed at the larynx) have shown that before adulthood, individuals can learn to associate a neutral stimulus with a negative one via increased amygdala activity to the conditioned stimulus (Monk et al., 2003a).”
Are you always on my mind? A review of how face perception and attention interact. (2007, background): “Indeed Monk et al. (2003) has found that the amygdala and regions of ventromedial PFC are more active in adolescents than adults when attention is directed toward non-emotional aspects of fearful faces, suggesting that adolescents may find emotional information more distracting than adults.”
A Developmental Examination of Amygdala Response to Facial Expressions (2008, methodology): “…on neural engagement, other work suggests that changing the context of attention engages neural systems differently across development and that emotional stimuli can interfere with ongoing functions (McClure et al., 2007; Perez-Edgar et al., 2007; Monk et al., 2003; Nelson et al., 2003).”
Earlier Development of the Accumbens Relative to Orbitofrontal Cortex Might Underlie Risk-Taking Behavior in Adolescents (2006, background): “Differential recruitment of frontostriatal regions has been reported across several developmental fMRI studies (Casey et al., 2002; Monk et al., 2003; Thomas et al., 2004).”
Why do many psychiatric disorders emerge during adolescence? (2008, background): “In another fMRI study, adults but not adolescents engaged the orbitofrontal cortex when asked to switch from an emotional assessment of a face (that is, “How afraid does it make you feel?”) to a non-emotional one (that is, “How wide is the nose?””
