Morphological features of the lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) in late childhood and early
adolescence may provide important clues as to the developmental etiology of clinical …

The development of executive function is linked to maturation of prefrontal cortex (PFC) in
childhood. Childhood obesity has been associated with changes in brain structure …

Obesity depends on homeostatic and hedonic food intake behavior, mediated by brain
plasticity changes in cortical and subcortical structures. The aim of this study was to …

Early adolescence is a critical period for eating behaviors as children gain autonomy around
food choice and peer influences increase in potency. From a neurodevelopmental …

Childhood socioeconomic status (SES) predicts executive function performance and
measures of prefrontal cortical function, but little is known about its anatomical correlates …

Imaging studies on neuronal network formation provide relevant information as to how the
brain matures during adolescence. We used a novel imaging approach combining well …

Both self-concept, the evaluation of who you are, and the physical body undergo changes
throughout adolescence. These two processes might affect the development of body image …

Childhood obesity has become a global health problem. Previous studies showed that
childhood obesity is associated with brain structural differences relative to controls …

Cognitive control comprises working memory, inhibition, cognitive flexibility and error
monitoring and is closely tied to the development of the prefrontal cortex. The fact that the …
