Epigenetic mechanisms in pubertal brain maturation
Puberty is a critical period of development during which the reemergence of gonadotropin-
releasing hormone secretion from the hypothalamus triggers a cascade of hormone …

Puberty influences medial temporal lobe and cortical gray matter maturation differently in boys than girls matched for sexual maturity
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 …
