Pubertal hormones organize the adolescent brain and behavior. (2005, background): “Puberty is proximally timed by internal and external stimuli that serve as permissive signals for reproductive maturation [18,28,36,111,133].”
Consilience and Life History Theory: From Genes to Brain to Reproductive Strategy. (2006, background): “(Sisk & Foster, 2004, p. 1045) Risk taking and novelty seeking are hallmarks of typical adolescent behavior.”
A Review of Adversity, The Amygdala and the Hippocampus: A Consideration of Developmental Timing (2009, positive): “These fi ndings are consistent with the notion that the transition into adolescence potentially marks another period when the environment can exert large effects on the brain (Sisk and Foster, 2004; Schulz et al., 2009).”
Age differences in sensation seeking and impulsivity as indexed by behavior and self-report: evidence for a dual systems model. (2008, background): “A growing literature, derived primarily from rodent studies, but with implications for human development, indicates that the remodeling of the dopaminergic system within the socioemotional network involves an initial postnatal rise and then, starting in preadolescence, a subsequent reduction of dopa”
Sexual dimorphism of brain developmental trajectories during childhood and adolescence (2007, positive): “Work in rodent models has shown that exposure to pubertal hormones during adolescence has effects on behavior which persist after the hormones are removed, providing evidence for a long term effect which could be related to changes in brain structure (Schulz and Sisk, 2006; Sisk and Foster, 2004).”
A Social Neuroscience Perspective on Adolescent Risk-Taking. (2008, background): “…at around 9 or 10 years of age, a subsequent reduction of dopamine receptor density in the striatum and prefrontal cortex, a transformation that is much more pronounced among males than females (at least in rodents) (Sisk & Foster, 2004; Sisk & Zehr, 2005; Teicher, Andersen, & Hostetter, 1995).”
Maturation of the adolescent brain (2013, background): “During adolescence, white matter increases in the corpus callosum, the bundle of”
Pubertal Development: Correspondence between hormonal and physical development (2009, background): “For these reasons, biobehavioral researchers increasingly seek to examine measures of puberty to clarify studies of emotion-related neural circuitry (Nelson, Leibenluft, McClure, & Pine, 2005; Sisk & Foster, 2004 ), psychopathology (Angold & Worthman, 1993; Cyranowski, Frank, Young, & Shear, 2000),”
The Lifespan Human Connectome Project in Development: A large-scale study of brain connectivity development in 5–21 year olds (2018, positive): “Despite the importance of hormones in neurodevelopmental processes (Giedd et al., 2006; Goddings et al., 2014; Romeo, 2003; Sisk and Foster, 2004; Spear, 2000), the relationship between puberty and brain connectivity changes remains poorly understood.”
AN EXAMINATION OF THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION AND NOTIFICATION ACT AS APPLIED TO JUVENILES Evaluating the Ability to Predict Sexual Recidivism (2008, background): “Although it is clear that developmental forces play a significant role in adolescent sexual behavior (Sisk, 2006; Sisk & Foster, 2004), exactly what aspects of adolescent developmental are most salient to sexual aggression and how they change to generate more adaptive sexual behavior in adulthood…”
Adolescent emotional development and the emergence of depressive disorders (2008, background): “In particular, brain regions associated with affective processing (particularly a ventral network of structures that includes the amygdala/hippocampus, ventral striatum, and hypothalamus), are densely innervated by gonadal steroid receptors (Nelson et al., 2005; Sisk & Foster, 2004 ).”
Why do many psychiatric disorders emerge during adolescence? (2008, background): “The most-obvious outward physical manifestations of puberty are caused by changing levels of hormone”
Triadic model of the neurobiology of motivated behavior in adolescence (2005, background): “Pubertal changes depend on developmental alterations in the function of the hypothalamo–pituitary–gonadal (HPG) axis (Romeo, 2003; Sisk & Foster, 2004).”
