This study examines how developmental changes in oscillatory and spontaneous neural activity support improved inhibitory control from adolescence to adulthood using EEG data.

This study examines how dopamine availability and immune activation interact to influence anhedonia severity in youth with depression.

The paper examines how maturation of corticostriatal circuits during adolescence and early adulthood relates to alcohol use initiation and escalation.

This study identifies four substance use trajectories in youth and links them to dopamine-related neurobiology, impulsivity, and inhibitory control during adolescence.

This study tracks the development of response inhibition in adolescent macaques, showing that behavioral improvements and neural maturation are linked to white matter pathway development.

The paper introduces a scalable method to estimate basal ganglia brain tissue iron using fMRI data, validated across developmental datasets and applicable to large-scale repositories.

The paper quantifies how adolescent brain maturation shifts excitation-inhibition balance and proximity to criticality using EEG data from 169 participants aged 10-33.

The paper investigates how intrinsic neural timescales develop across adolescence in multiple species, finding reductions linked to improved cognitive function and structural changes.

This study investigates the timing of myelin maturation in different layers of the human prefrontal cortex and finds that deep layers mature earlier than superficial layers, affecting neural activity and cognitive processing.

The paper examines how striatal dopamine maturation supports habitual behavior development from adolescence to adulthood using longitudinal data.

This study shows that during adolescence, the prefrontal cortex's excitation/inhibition balance improves signal-to-noise ratio and working memory performance through changes in glutamate and GABA levels.

This study shows that neural activity patterns in the prefrontal cortex predict cognitive improvements during adolescence, with long-distance white matter tracts playing a key role.

The paper shows that changes in PFC aperiodic EEG activity and glutamate/GABA balance correlate with working memory development through adolescence.

The paper examines age-related changes in basal ganglia iron levels in neonates using rsfMRI data, finding postnatal age associations in specific subregions and preterm birth effects.

The paper measures striatal iron deposition in neonates using MRI and finds age-related changes in specific subregions but not others.

This study shows that dopamine release in the ventral striatum is linked to reward learning, not just reward processing, using combined PET and fMRI in humans.

This study examines how puberty influences fronto-striatal functional connectivity and its relationship to inhibitory control in adolescents.

This study shows that pubertal maturation, not just chronological age, is more strongly linked to improvements in inhibitory control, particularly through changes in ventrolateral prefrontal cortex activation.

This study examines age-related changes in transient gamma band activity during working memory maintenance in adolescents using EEG and spectral event processing.

This study uses MRI to track changes in GABA and glutamate levels in the prefrontal cortex across adolescence, finding increased balance between these neurotransmitters.

Brain-behaviour correlations in ABCD are tiny (median |r|=0.01), so samples of typical size (N=25) give inflated, irreproducible results; estimates only stabilise around N⪆2,000.

The paper assesses functional connectome fingerprinting accuracy in youths and adults across same-day and 1.5-year intervals, finding similar performance between age groups but reduced accuracy over time.

This study examines how dopamine-related striatal properties change with age and their impact on frontostriatal circuitry connectivity during adolescence.

The paper examines how externalizing psychopathology affects inhibitory control development and brain activation in adolescents at risk for substance use, finding differences that normalize by late adolescence.

This study examines how feature-based attention affects motion detection across visual and auditory modalities, finding that combined audiovisual cues improve detection accuracy compared to unimodal cues.
