Magnetic resonance (MR) techniques provide opportunities to non-invasively characterize
neurobiological milestones of adolescent brain development. Juxtaposed to the critical …

Adolescence is an important neurodevelopmental period marked by rapidly escalating rates
of alcohol and drug use. Over the past decade, research has attempted to disentangle pre …

Adolescence is a particularly vulnerable neurodevelopmental period marked by high rates
of engagement with risky alcohol use. This review summarizes the cognitive and neural …

Studies over the last decade demonstrate that adolescence is a brain maturation period from
childhood to adulthood. Plastic and dynamic processes drive adolescent brain development …

Objective: During adolescence, neurobiological maturation occurs concurrently with social
and interpersonal changes, including the initiation of alcohol and other substance use. The …

While adolescent alcohol consumption has been asserted to adversely alter brain
development, research in human adolescents has not yet provided us with sufficient …

In the past 15 years, both human and animal studies have advanced our understanding of
the effects of adolescent alcohol exposure on behavioral and neural development …

Adolescence is a period marked by increases in risk taking, sensation seeking, and emotion
dysregulation. Neurobiological models of adolescent development propose that lagging …

Alcohol use increases across adolescence and is a concern in the United States. In humans,
males and females consume different amounts of alcohol depending on the age of initiation …

Background: Alcohol use in excessive quantities has deleterious effects on brain structure
and behavior in adults and during periods of rapid neurodevelopment, such as prenatally …
