Being Left Out: Neurobiological Correlates of Social Rejection and their Developmental Trajectory (2011, neutral): “The SIPN model has similarities with other neurodevelopmental models explaining typical adolescent behavior, such as increased sensation-seeking and risk-taking behavior (e.g., Casey et al., 2008a, 2008b; Crews et al., 2007; Ernst et al., 2006; Steinberg, 2008)(1), which differ in their degree of fo”
