Alongside the exponential flourish of research on age-related trajectories of human brain
development during childhood and adolescence in the past two decades, there has been an …

Middle childhood—conventionally going from about 6–11 years of age—is a crucial yet
underappreciated phase of human development. On the surface, middle childhood may …

Substantial hormonal and neurobiological changes occur during puberty, and are widely
argued to render this period of life a sensitive period in terms of risk for mental health …

Evolutionary-minded developmentalists studying predictive-adaptive-response processes
linking childhood adversity with accelerated female reproductive development and health …

Background Little is known about the cortical organization of human vestibular information
processing. Instead of a dedicated primary vestibular cortex, a distributed network of regions …

Exposure to early-life adversity (ELA) is associated with elevated risk for depression and
anxiety disorders in adolescence. Identifying mechanisms through which ELA contributes to …

Human life history schedules vary, partly, because of adaptive, plastic responses to early-life
conditions. Little is known about how prenatal conditions relate to puberty timing. We …

Adolescence is characterized by rapid brain development in white matter (WM) that is
attributed in part to surges in gonadal hormones. To date, however, there have been few …

Recent neurodevelopmental research supports the contribution of pubertal stage to local
and global grey and white matter remodelling. Little is known, however, about white matter …

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) production is closely associated with the first pubertal
hormonal event, adrenarche. Few studies have documented the relationships between …
