The Adolescent Brain

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that there is a heightened responsiveness to incentives and socioemotional contexts during this time, when impulse control is still relatively immature, which suggests differential development of bottom‐up limbic systems to top‐down control systems during adolescence as compared to childhood and adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI

A time of change: behavioral and neural correlates of adolescent sensitivity to appetitive and aversive environmental cues.

TL;DR: This review discusses the emotional and incentive-driven behavioral changes in adolescents and their associated neural mechanisms, focusing on the dynamic interactions between the amygdala, ventral striatum, and prefrontal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurobiology of the adolescent brain and behavior: implications for substance use disorders.

TL;DR: This review discusses recent human imaging and animal work in the context of an emerging view of adolescence as characterized by a tension between early emerging "bottom-up" systems that express exaggerated reactivity to motivational stimuli and later maturing "top-down" cognitive control regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Genetic Variant BDNF Polymorphism Alters Extinction Learning in Both Mouse and Human

TL;DR: Parallel phenotypes in mice and humans resulting from a common single-nucleotide polymorphism in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene, which is involved in anxiety-related behavior are identified.
