Neural responses to reward valence and magnitude from pre- to early adolescence

NeuroImage, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 275, P. 120166 - 120166

Neural activation during reward processing is thought to underlie critical behavioral changes that take place the transition adolescence (e.g., learning, risk-taking). Though literature on neural basis of in booming, important gaps remain. First, more information needed regarding functional neuroanatomy early adolescence. Another gap understanding whether sensitivity different aspects incentive magnitude and valence) into We used fMRI from a large sample preadolescent children characterize responses valence vs. anticipation feedback, their change over period two years.

Abstract Adolescence is often viewed in Western cultures as a time of rebellion and irresponsibility. In this article, I synthesize recent research on stereotypes adolescence that uses an interdisciplinary approach, integrating developmental psychology, cultural neuroscience. first discuss empirical evidence differences adolescence, highlighting the importance avoiding one‐size‐fits‐all assumption about such across cultures. Then summarize impact teen youth's academic, behavioral, emotional, neural development. Finally, present experimental intervention can change promote positive youth Taken together, body work suggests how individuals navigate adolescent years driven part by social constructions phase The also calls for more attention to changing negative at policy societal levels.

Transcendent thinking counteracts longitudinal effects of mid‐adolescent exposure to community violence in the anterior cingulate cortex

Journal of Research on Adolescence, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: June 25, 2024

Abstract Adolescence involves extensive brain maturation, characterized by social sensitivity and emotional lability, that co‐occurs with increased independence. Mid‐adolescence is also a hallmark developmental stage when youths become motivated to reflect on the broader personal, ethical, systems‐level implications of happenings, process we term transcendent thinking. Here, examine confluence these processes ask, from transdisciplinary perspective, how might community violence exposure (CVE) impact development during mid‐adolescence, youths' dispositions for thinking be protective? Fifty‐five low‐SES urban youth no history delinquency (32 female; 27 Latinx, 28 East Asian) reported their CVE underwent structural MRI first at age 14–18, again 2 years later. At study's start, participants discussed feelings about 40 minidocumentaries featuring other teens' compelling situations in 2‐h private interview was transcribed coded Controlling structure start: (1) New 2‐year inter‐scan interval associated greater gray matter volume (GMV) reduction over anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), central network hub whose reduced has been posttraumatic stress disorder, across multiple additional cortical subcortical regions; (2) participants' independently predicted GMV increase ACC. Findings highlight continued vulnerability mid‐adolescents importance supporting complex personal affordances civic landscape.

Diverse Adolescents’ Transcendent Thinking Predicts Young Adult Psychosocial Outcomes via Brain Network Development

Published: May 6, 2023

Developmental scientists have long described mid-adolescents’ emerging capacities to make deep meaning about the social world and self, here called transcendent thinking, as a hallmark developmental stage. In this 5-year longitudinal study, sixty-five 14-18yr-old youths’ proclivities grapple psychologically with ethical, systems-level personal implications of stories, predicted future increases in coordination two key brain networks: default-mode network, involved reflective, autobiographical free-form executive control effortful, focused thinking; findings were independent IQ, ethnicity, socioeconomic background. This neural development late-adolescent identity development, which young-adult self-liking relationship satisfaction, cascade. The reveal novel predictor suggest importance attending adolescents’ engage agentically complex perspectives emotions on relevance issues, such through civically minded educational approaches.

Associations between alcohol use and sex-specific maturation of subcortical gray matter morphometry from adolescence to adulthood: Replication across two longitudinal samples

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 63, P. 101294 - 101294

Published: Sept. 3, 2023

Subcortical brain morphometry matures across adolescence and young adulthood, a time when many youth engage in escalating levels of alcohol use. Initial cross-sectional studies have shown use is associated with altered subcortical morphometry. However, longitudinal evidence sex-specific neuromaturation associations remains limited. This project used generalized additive mixed models to examine development volumes recent use, using 7 waves (n = 804, 51% female, ages 12-21 at baseline) from the National Consortium on Alcohol Neurodevelopment Adolescence (NCANDA). A second, independent, dataset, up four data 467, 43% 10-18 baseline), was assess replicability. Significant, replicable non-linear normative volumetric changes age were evident caudate, putamen, thalamus, pallidum, amygdala hippocampus. negative between volume found hippocampus all youth, caudate thalamus female but not male significant interactions present putamen. Findings suggest structural vulnerability or predisposition drink based structure, potentially showing heightened risk, compared youth.
