Oestradiol and Progesterone Variability in Adolescent Females: Associations with Brain Structure and Mental Health Problems

This study examines how monthly variability in oestradiol and progesterone in adolescent females relates to brain structure and mental health outcomes.

Global Structural Brain-Age in Adolescence: Application of an Established Method to Short-Interval, Longitudinal Data

The paper applies an existing brain-age model to longitudinal adolescent MRI data, finding moderate consistency but issues with accuracy and age-related bias.

Adolescent brain-age differences between profiles based on suicidal ideation, distress and wellbeing

The paper examines brain-age gaps in adolescents with different mental health profiles, finding higher brain-age in those with moderate distress and lower suicidal ideation.

Pubertal hormones and the early adolescent female brain: a multimodality brain MRI study

This study investigates the relationship between pubertal hormones and brain structure/function in adolescent females using multimodal MRI data from a large cohort.

Linking Oestradiol (E2) Timing and Tempo, Brain Development, and Mental Health in Adolescent Females

The paper examines how oestradiol timing and tempo in adolescent females relate to brain development and mental health symptoms using longitudinal data from the ABCD Study.

Corticolimbic connectivity mediates the relationship between pubertal timing and mental health problems

The paper examines how earlier pubertal timing affects mental health through changes in corticolimbic connectivity in adolescents, finding mediation effects on withdrawn depressed problems and environmental moderation.

Development of attention networks from childhood to young adulthood: A study of performance, intraindividual variability and cortical thickness

This study examines the development of attentional networks from childhood to young adulthood, finding that executive control stabilizes while orienting and alerting continue to develop, with cortical thickness linked to these changes.

A longitudinal analysis of puberty-related cortical development

This study examines how pubertal tempo affects cortical development trajectories in adolescents using longitudinal MRI data.

Feeling left out or just surprised? Neural correlates of social exclusion and over-inclusion in adolescence

This study examines neural responses to social exclusion and over-inclusion in adolescents using fMRI, finding differential activation patterns in specific brain regions.

Affective reactivity during adolescence: Associations with age, puberty and testosterone

This study examines how age, puberty, and testosterone levels influence affective reactivity in adolescents using longitudinal fMRI data.

Development of subcortical volumes across adolescence in males and females: A multisample study of longitudinal changes

This study examines subcortical brain volume changes across adolescence in males and females using three longitudinal samples, finding sex differences but inconsistent trajectories across samples.
