The brain undergoes extensive structural changes during adolescence, concurrent to
puberty-related physical and hormonal changes. While animal research suggests these …

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 …

Puberty is characterized by hormonal, physical and psychological transformation. The
human brain undergoes significant changes between childhood and adulthood, but little is …

Puberty triggers a period of structural “re-organization” in the brain, when rising hormone
levels act via receptors to influence morphology. However, our understanding of these …

Adolescence is a transitional period of physical and behavioral development between
childhood and adulthood. Puberty is a distinct period of sexual maturation that occurs during …

Research has demonstrated associations between pubertal development and brain
maturation. However, existing studies have been limited by small samples, cross-sectional …

Adolescence refers to the period of physical and psychological development between
childhood and adulthood. The beginning of adolescence is loosely anchored to the onset of …

Over the past two decades, there has been a tremendous increase in our understanding of
structural and functional brain development in adolescence. However, understanding the …

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 …

Studies of puberty have focused primarily on changes in hormones and on observable
physical bodily characteristics. Little is known, however, about the nature of the relation …
