Brains systems undergo unique and specific dynamic changes at the cellular, circuit, and
systems level that underlie the transition to adult-level cognitive control. We integrate …

Cognitive control, which continues to mature throughout adolescence, is supported by the
ability for well-defined organized brain networks to flexibly integrate information. However …

Adolescence is a time when the ability to engage cognitive control is linked to crucial life
outcomes. Despite a historical focus on prefrontal cortex functioning, recent evidence …

A fundamental, yet rarely tested premise of developmental cognitive neuroscience is that
changes in brain activity and improvements in behavioral control across adolescent …

The transition from childhood to adulthood is marked by pronounced functional and
structural brain transformations that impact cognition and behavior. Here, we use a …

Background Adolescence is commonly characterized by impulsivity, poor decision-making,
and lack of foresight. However, the developmental neural underpinnings of these …

The human brain is characterized by a remarkable ability to adapt its information processing
based on current goals. This ability, which is encompassed by the psychological construct of …

Cognitive function evolves significantly over development, enabling flexible control of
human behavior. Yet, how these functions are instantiated in spatially distributed and …

One form of cognitive control is the ability to resist temptation in favor of long-term goal-
oriented behavior. Historically, the development of cognitive control capacity has been …

Cognitive and brain maturational changes continue throughout late childhood and
adolescence. During this time, increasing cognitive control over behavior enhances the …
