> Abstract:
> Adolescence refers to the transition from childhood to adulthood that
> begins with the onset of puberty and ends with successful independence
> from the parent. A paradox for human adolescence is why, during a time
> when the individual is probably faster, stronger, of higher reasoning
> capacity, and more resistant to disease, there is such an increase in
> mortality relative to childhood. This is due not to disease but, rather,
> to preventable forms of death (accidental fatalities, suicide, and
> homicide) associated with adolescents putting themselves in harm's way,
> in part because of diminished self-control-the ability to suppress
> inappropriate emotions, desires, and actions. This article highlights
> how self-control varies as a function of age, context, and the
> individual and delineates its neurobiological basis.

> Abstract:
> Adolescence is associated with heightened mortality rates due in large
> measure to negative consequences from risky behaviors. Theories of
> adolescent risk taking posit that it is driven by immature cognitive
> control coupled with heightened reward reactivity, yet surprisingly few
> empirical studies have examined these neurobiological systems together.
> In this article, we describe a series of studies from our laboratory
> aimed at further delineating the maturation of cognitive control through
> adolescence, as well as how rewards influence a key aspect of cognitive
> control: response inhibition. Our findings indicate that adolescents can
> exert adult-like control over their behavior but that they have
> limitations regarding the consistency with which they can generate
> optimal responses compared with adults. Moreover, we demonstrate that
> the brain circuitry supporting mature cognitive (inhibitory) control is
> still undergoing development. Our work using the rewarded antisaccade
> task, a paradigm that enables concurrent assessment of rewards and
> inhibitory control, indicates that adolescents show delayed but
> heightened responses in key reward regions along with concurrent
> activation in brain systems that support behaviors leading to reward
> acquisition. Considered together, our results highlight
> adolescent-specific differences in the integration of basic brain
> processes that may underlie decision making and more complex risk taking
> in adolescence.

> Abstract:
> Distant brain regions are organized into large-scale functional networks
> specialized for specific cognitive processes. The brain's
> functional-network architecture and its development can be investigated
> using functional connectivity MRI (fcMRI), which measures correlations
> in spontaneous fluctuations of brain activity. fcMRI studies have
> provided important insights into typical brain organization and
> development, as well as insights into the atypical organization of the
> brain in neuropsychiatric disorders. fcMRI data can be easily collected
> and carry much information. Therefore, they are now being analyzed using
> powerful multivariate-pattern-analysis (MVPA) methods, with the goal of
> one day being able to diagnose disease states in individuals. However,
> great care must be taken during these analyses to eliminate confounds
> such as head movement.

>
> Abstract:
> Research efforts to account for elevated risk behavior among adolescents
> have arrived at an exciting new stage. Moving beyond laboratory studies
> of age differences in risk perception and reasoning, new approaches have
> shifted their focus to the influence of social and emotional factors on
> adolescent decision making. We review recent research suggesting that
> adolescent risk-taking propensity derives in part from a maturational
> gap between early adolescent remodeling of the brain's socioemotional
> reward system and a gradual, prolonged strengthening of the
> cognitive-control system. Research has suggested that in adolescence, a
> time when individuals spend an increasing amount of time with their
> peers, peer-related stimuli may sensitize the reward system to respond
> to the reward value of risky behavior. As the cognitive-control system
> gradually matures over the course of the teenage years, adolescents grow
> in their capacity to coordinate affect and cognition and to exercise
> self-regulation, even in emotionally arousing situations. These
> capacities are reflected in gradual growth in the capacity to resist
> peer influence.

>
> Abstract:
> Relative to childhood, peer relationships take on a heightened
> importance during adolescence. Might adolescents be highly attuned to
> information that concerns when and how they are being evaluated and what
> their peers think of them? This review evaluates how continuing brain
> development-which influences brain function-partially explains and
> reflects adolescents' attunement to social evaluation. Though
> preliminary, evidence is mounting to suggest that while processing
> information relevant to social evaluation and the internal states of
> other people, adolescents respond with heightened emotional intensity
> and corresponding nonlinear recruitment of socioaffective brain
> circuitry. This review highlights research findings that relate
> trajectories of brain development to social behavior and discusses
> promising avenues of future research that will inform how brain
> development might lead adolescents to be sensitized to social
> evaluation.

>

> Abstract:
> Maturation of social cognition and a gain in social proficiency are
> universal aspects of adolescent development that prepare individuals for
> adulthood. Social cognition involves the perception and interpretation
> of social cues, followed by the generation of a behavioral response.
> Social proficiency is acquired through the ability to make behavioral
> adaptations as one learns from social experience; increased social
> proficiency facilitates successful social interactions. In males, the
> neuroendocrine bases of these developmental changes involve both
> activational and organizational influences of testicular hormones. Using
> the male Syrian hamster as a model, this review provides evidence that
> social stimuli acquire rewarding properties during adolescence via
> activational effects of pubertal testosterone, whereas the adolescent
> gain in social proficiency depends on organizational actions of pubertal
> testosterone.

> Abstract:
> In this paper, we discuss the surging hormones of puberty and their
> influences on adolescent behavior. We describe why these issues
> represent an interesting and important area of investigation,
> emphasizing their contributions to a specific set of developmental
> processes at the heart of the transition from childhood to adolescence.
> We briefly review the neuroendocrine underpinnings of human puberty. Our
> review focuses on evidence for behavioral (and neurobehavioral) effects
> of gonadal hormones and emphasizes the social and affective dimensions
> of these hormonal effects. More broadly, we consider how these hormonal
> events contribute to brain-behavior interactions that can bias early
> adolescent trajectories in both positive and negative directions, and in
> ways that may begin as small influences but can spiral into large-scale
> effects over time. These influences also appear to play an important
> role in functional and structural brain development during adolescence.
> Finally, we offer some thoughts on directions for future research in
> these areas.

> Authors:

> *CURRENT DIRECTIONS IN PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE*, 22 (2):140-145; SI APR 2013
>
> Abstract:
> Adolescence is a time of many psychosocial and physiological changes.
> One such change is how an individual responds to stressors.
> Specifically, adolescence is marked by significant shifts in
> hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis reactivity, resulting in
> heightened stress-induced hormonal responses. It is presently unclear
> what mediates these changes in stress reactivity and what impacts they
> may have on an adolescent individual. However, stress-sensitive limbic
> and cortical brain areas that continue to mature during adolescence may
> be particularly vulnerable to these shifts in responsiveness.
> Consequently, perturbations of the maturing adolescent brain may
> contribute to the increase in stress-related psychological dysfunctions,
> such as anxiety, depression, and drug abuse, often observed during this
> stage of development. The purpose of this review is to describe the
> changes that occur in HPA function during adolescence, as well as to
> briefly discuss the possible ramifications of these changes on the
> developing brain and psychological health.

> Abstract:
> Fear learning is an adaptive, evolutionarily conserved process that
> allows people to respond appropriately to threats in the environment.
> These threats can vary across different contexts and across the life
> course. Taking into account the high degree of neural and behavioral
> conservation across species in fear regulation and its underlying neural
> circuitry, we examined how fear learning changes across contexts and
> over the course of development, focusing specifically on the
> environmentally changing and challenging period of adolescence. We show
> two surprising developmental findings specific to adolescents, relative
> to older and younger individuals: (a) diminished fear to previously
> aversive contexts and (b) heightened fear to previously aversive cues.
> These behavioral changes are paralleled by developmental changes in
> frontolimbic circuitry. We discuss how these evolutionarily conserved
> mechanisms may be essential to survival of the species, given the
> changing environmental demands (social, sexual, and physical) of
> adolescence. Our findings also have important implications for
> unremitting forms of fear at the core of anxiety-related disorders,
> which peak during adolescence, and for when during development specific
> treatments for these disorders may be most effective.

>
> Abstract:
> The high levels of alcohol consumption characteristic of adolescence may
> be in part biologically based, given that elevated consumption levels
> are evident during this developmental transition in other mammalian
> species as well. Studies conducted using a simple animal model of
> adolescence in the rat have shown adolescents to be more sensitive than
> adults to social facilitatory and rewarding effects of alcohol but less
> sensitive to numerous alcohol effects that may serve as cues to limit
> intake. These age-specific alcohol sensitivities appear related to
> differential rates of development of neural systems underlying different
> alcohol effects, as well as to an ontogenetic decline in rapid brain
> compensations to alcohol, termed acute tolerance. In contrast, these
> adolescent-typical sensitivities to alcohol do not appear to be notably
> influenced by pubertal increases in gonadal hormones. Although data are
> sparse, there are hints that similar alcohol sensitivities may be seen
> in human adolescents, with this developmentally decreased sensitivity to
> alcohol's intoxicating effects possibly exacerbated by genetic
> vulnerabilities also characterized by an insensitivity to alcohol
> intoxication, thereby perhaps permitting especially high levels of
> alcohol consumption among vulnerable youths.
