Abstract

Commentary on Brain, Behaviour and Cognitive Sciences

It is a field of neuroscience that studies the basic processes behind brain and central nervous system illnesses and disorders (CNS). The majority of previous developmental neuroscience studies on cognitive control looked at variations in the amplitude of brain activation between age cohorts, which limited conclusions about genuine developmental changes on an individual level. We investigated developmental changes in brain activity during cognitive control during adolescence using longitudinal functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data, as well as longitudinal brain-behavior correlations.
