TL;DR: The results help resolve previous inconsistencies regarding the structural development of the cerebral cortex from childhood to adulthood, and provide novel insight into how changes in the different dimensions of the cortex in this period of life are inter-related.

TL;DR: It is shown that accounting for cranial/brain size affects models of regional brain development, particularly with respect to sex differences, and some best practices for statistical control of cranial volume and brain size in future studies are suggested.

TL;DR: This fMRI study examined the neural networks involved in social exclusion and subsequent fairness considerations across adolescent development and revealed a network of regions associated with social exclusion, which involve the medial prefrontal cortex/ventral anterior cingulate cortex, subgenual ACC and the lateral PFC, as well as the insula and the dorsal ACC.

TL;DR: Results showed that testosterone level correlated positively with activation in the striatum for both boys and girls, suggesting that individual differences in hormones at puberty are related to the way adolescents respond to reward, which can ultimately affect risk-taking behavior.

TL;DR: Investigation of responder behavior to unfair offers in an Ultimatum Game paradigm with conditions that differed in their intentionality constraints highlights the significance of intentionality considerations in fairness-related social decision-making processes.
