Development of Large-Scale Functional Brain Networks in Children (2009, background): “Importantly, we show that the dynamic process of over-connectivity followed by pruning, which rewires connectivity at the neuronal level [89], also operates at the systems level and helps reconfigure and rebalance subcortical and paralimbic connectivity in the developing brain.”
Peers increase adolescent risk taking by enhancing activity in the brain’s reward circuitry (2011, positive): “Brain regions involved in cognitive control undergo comparatively gradual and protracted maturation, involving reductions in gray matter density and increases in myelination, from preadolescence through at least the mid-20s (Asato, Terwilliger, Woo & Luna, 2010; Giedd, 2008).”
Age-related changes in the effect of ostracism (2011, background): “For example, in contrast to the traditional view that the human brain was fully mature by the age of 18, more recent research has shown that both structural and functional changes continue to occur until at least the early 20s (Giedd, 2008; Toga, Thompson, & Sowell, 2006).”
Enhancing Cognitive and Social–Emotional Development Through a Simple-to-Administer Mindfulness-Based School Program for Elementary School Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial (2015, background): “We know that the late childhood years, just before the transitional period of puberty, are a time of considerable synaptic overproduction in the prefrontal cortex and that this appears to set the stage for advances in EFs during and following this period (Giedd, 2008).”
Adolescent Maturity and the Brain: The Promise and Pitfalls of Neuroscience Research in Adolescent Health Policy (2009, neutral): “Further hindering extrapolation from the laboratory to the real world is the fact that it is virtually impossible to parse the role of the brain from other biological systems and contexts that shape human behavior [6].”
