The Development of Impulse Control and Sensation‐Seeking in Adolescence: Independent or Interdependent Processes? (2016, background): “It seems reasonable, then, to hypothesize that the continued strengthening of cognitive control across the latter stages of adolescence might be responsible for this decline in the responsiveness of the incentiveprocessing system (e.g., Galvan et al., 2006; Uro sevi c et al., 2012).”
The teen brain: insights from neuroimaging. (2008, background): “[79] Galvan A, Hare TA, Parra CE, et al.”
Adolescent risk taking, impulsivity, and brain development: implications for prevention. (2010, background): “One process that emerges early in adolescence is driven by frontostriatal reward circuits involving the ventral striatum (e.g., the nucleus accumbens) (Casey, Getz, & Galvan, 2008; Chambers, Taylor, & Potenza, 2003; Galvan et al., 2006).”
The long-run impact of a traumatic experience on risk aversion (2014, background): “For example, Galvan et al. (2006) found that adolescents’ risk-seeking behavior is correlated with exaggerated accumbens activity relative to prefrontal activity.”
Adolescent neurodevelopment. (2013, background): “Type of task, context and reward intensity might contribute to differences seen across studies (45), with adolescents for instance found to show greater ventral striatum responses to larger rewards but weaker responses to relatively small rewards (41).”
Adolescent risky decision-making: Neurocognitive development of reward and control regions (2010, methodology): “These findings support the hypothesis that risky behavior in adolescence follows from an imbalance caused by different developmental trajectories of motivational and regulatory brain circuitry (Casey et al. 2008; Galvan et al. 2006; Steinberg et al. 2008).”
Judgment and Decision Making in Adolescence (2011, positive): “Consistent with recent functional neuroimaging work demonstrating adolescent peaks in sensitivity to reward (e.g., Galvan et al., 2006) and social (e.g., Blakemore, 2008) stimuli, the behavioral research described above suggests that adolescentsFmore so than adultsFare motivated to seek out novel…”
A Social Neuroscience Perspective on Adolescent Risk-Taking. (2008, background): “…that adolescents suffer from a ''reward deficiency syndrome, " although intuitively appealing, is undermined by several studies that indicate elevated activity in subcortical regions, especially the accumbens, in response to reward during adolescence (Ernst et al., 2005; Galvan et al., 2006).”
Beyond simple models of self-control to circuit-based accounts of adolescent behavior. (2015, background): “Several imaging studies have attempted to map the developmental representation of rewards in the brain to explicate how motivationally relevant cues impact behavior (Ernst et al. 2006; Galván et al. 2006, 2013; Geier et al. 2010; van Leijenhorst et al. 2010).”
Adolescence as a sensitive period for spiritual development. (2008, background): “In a recent study, Galvan et al. (2006) presented functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain showing that areas of the brain involved in planning and control developed later than areas of the brain that are sensitive to immediate rewards.”
Impulsivity as a vulnerability marker for substance-use disorders: review of findings from high-risk research, problem gamblers and genetic association studies. (2008, background): “Subsequent work has confirmed these developmental trends using risktaking measures combined with fMRI scanning, in groups of young children, adolescents and young adults (Bjork et al., 2004b; Ernst et al., 2006a; Eshel et al., 2007; Galvan et al., 2006; van Leijenhorst et al., 2006).”
