Dimensions of early life adversity are differentially associated with patterns of delayed and accelerated brain maturation

The paper examines how different types of early-life adversity relate to brain age gaps in children, finding some types are linked to younger-looking brains and others to older-looking brains.

BrainAGE as a measure of maturation during early adolescence

This study examines how BrainAGE correlates with pubertal and cognitive development in early adolescents, finding it aligns with pubertal maturation but shows mixed results with cognitive metrics.

Profiling intra- and inter-individual differences in brain development across early adolescence

The paper quantifies intra- and inter-individual variability in brain development during early adolescence using the ABCD Study, finding age-related differences and regional heterogeneity.

Individual variability in structural brain development from late childhood to young adulthood

The paper quantifies individual and sex differences in structural brain development from childhood to young adulthood using MRI data from three longitudinal datasets.

Individual differences in functional brain connectivity predict temporal discounting preference in the transition to adolescence

This study shows that individual differences in brain connectivity predict changes in reward waiting preferences during adolescence, beyond what age alone can explain.

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.
