Sex differences in age-and puberty-related maturation of human brain structure have been
observed in typically developing age-matched boys and girls. Because girls mature 1–2 …

Puberty reflects a period of hormonal changes, physical maturation and structural brain
reorganization. However, little attention has been paid to what extent sex steroids and …

It has been postulated that pubertal hormones may drive some neuroanatomical changes
during adolescence, and may do so differently in girls and boys. Here, we use growth curve …

Little is known about the hormonal effects of puberty on the anatomy of the developing
human brain. In a voxel-based morphometry study, sex-related differences in gray matter …

Puberty is an important stage of development as a child's sexual and physical characteristics
mature because of hormonal changes. To better understand puberty-related effects on brain …

The onset of adolescence in humans is marked by hormonal changes that give rise to
secondary sexual characteristics, noted as puberty. It has, however, proven challenging to …

Age-related changes in cortical thickness have been observed during adolescence,
including thinning in frontal and parietal cortices, and thickening in the lateral temporal …

Sex steroids exert important organizational effects on brain structure. Early in life, they are
involved in brain sexual differentiation. During puberty, sex steroid levels increase …

In nonhuman species, testosterone is known to have permanent organizing effects early in
life that predict later expression of sex differences in brain and behavior. However, in …

Objective Puberty is the defining process of adolescence, and is accompanied by divergent
trajectories of behavior and cognition for males and females. Here we examine whether sex …
