TLDR
This article proposes a framework for theory and research on risk-taking that is informed by developmental neuroscience, and finds that changes in the brain's cognitive control system - changes which improve individuals' capacity for self-regulation - occur across adolescence and young adulthood.About:

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
Why do many psychiatric disorders emerge during adolescence
TL;DR: The peak age of onset for many psychiatric disorders is adolescence, a time of remarkable physical and behavioural changes and answers to these questions might enable the understanding of mental health during adolescence.

Adolescence: a foundation for future health
Susan M Sawyer,Susan M Sawyer,Rima Afifi,Linda H. Bearinger,Sarah-Jayne Blakemore,Bruce Dick,Alex Ezeh,George C Patton,George C Patton +8 more
TL;DR: New understandings of the diverse and dynamic effects on adolescent health include insights into the effects of puberty and brain development, together with social media, which provide important opportunities to improve health, both in adolescence and later in life.

Understanding adolescence as a period of social–affective engagement and goal flexibility.
Eveline A. Crone,Ronald E. Dahl +1 more
TL;DR: Developmental neuroimaging studies do not support a simple model of frontal cortical immaturity, and growing evidence points to the importance of changes in social and affective processing, which begin around the onset of puberty, as crucial to understanding these adolescent vulnerabilities.

Handbook of Child Psychology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the importance of biology for human development and the role of the human brain in the development of human cognition and behavior, and propose a model of human development based on the Bioecological Model of Human Development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factor structure of the Barratt impulsiveness scale.
TL;DR: The results of the present study suggest that the total score of the BIS-11 is an internally consistent measure of impulsiveness and has potential clinical utility for measuring impulsiveness among selected patient and inmate populations.

Insensitivity to future consequences following damage to human prefrontal cortex
TL;DR: Using a novel task which simulates real-life decision-making in the way it factors uncertainty of premises and outcomes, as well as reward and punishment, it is found that prefrontal patients are oblivious to the future consequences of their actions, and seem to be guided by immediate prospects only.
Journal ArticleDOI
The adolescent brain and age-related behavioral manifestations
TL;DR: Developmental changes in prefrontal cortex and limbic brain regions of adolescents across a variety of species, alterations that include an apparent shift in the balance between mesocortical and mesolimbic dopamine systems likely contribute to the unique characteristics of adolescence.

TL;DR: Functional magnetic resonance imaging of Ultimatum Game players was used to investigate neural substrates of cognitive and emotional processes involved in economic decision-making and significantly heightened activity in anterior insula for rejected unfair offers suggests an important role for emotions in decision- making.
