TLDR
Puberty appears to be so essential to the changes occurring during adolescence that it should be recorded when possible, especially given the sex difference in pubertal timing.About:

Importance of investing in adolescence from a developmental science perspective
TL;DR: The case for investing in adolescence as a period of rapid growth, learning, adaptation, and formational neurobiological development is summarized.

Heterogeneity in Cognitive and Socio-Emotional Functioning in Adolescents With On-Track and Delayed School Progression.
Loren Vandenbroucke,Wouter D. Weeda,Nikki C. Lee,Dieter Baeyens,Jon Westfall,Bernd Figner,Mariëtte Huizinga +6 more
TL;DR: Network analysis revealed that executive functions play a key role in the network of cognitive, social, and emotional functioning in adolescents on-track or delayed in their school progression and provides preliminary evidence of the importance of taking individual differences within groups into account.

Effects of adolescent alcohol consumption on the brain and behaviour
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for notable across-species similarities in the neural consequences of adolescent alcohol exposure, providing support for further translational efforts in this context.

The organizing actions of adolescent gonadal steroid hormones on brain and behavioral development.
Kalynn M. Schulz,Cheryl L. Sisk +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence from studies on male sexual behavior suggests that adolescence is part of a protracted postnatal sensitive period that begins perinatally and ends following adolescence, and the perinatal and peripubertal periods of brain and behavioral organization likely do not represent two discrete sensitive periods.

Puberty and the human brain: Insights into adolescent development.
TL;DR: This review systematically examines empirical research on puberty‐related structural and functional brain development in humans, with the aim of identifying convergent patterns of associations and evaluating support for prominent models of adolescent neurodevelopment.

TL;DR: This large-scale longitudinal pediatric neuroimaging study confirmed linear increases in white matter, but demonstrated nonlinear changes in cortical gray matter, with a preadolescent increase followed by a postadolescent decrease.

Variations in pattern of pubertal changes in girls.
W. A. Marshall,James M. Tanner +1 more
TL;DR: The extent of normal individual variation observed in the events of puberty among the girls of the Harpenden Growth Study is described.
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: The dynamic anatomical sequence of human cortical gray matter development between the age of 4-21 years using quantitative four-dimensional maps and time-lapse sequences reveals that higher-order association cortices mature only after lower-order somatosensory and visual cortices are developed.

Variations in the Pattern of Pubertal Changes in Boys
W. A. Marshall,James M. Tanner +1 more
TL;DR: Mixed longitudinal data on the physical changes at puberty in 228 normal boys are presented together with normal standards for stages of genital and pubic hair development, finding that boys' genitalia begin to develop only about 6 months later than the girls' breasts and Pubic hair appears about 1½ years later in boys than in girls.
