Does the child brain rest?: An examination and interpretation of resting cognition in developmental cognitive neuroscience
In cognitive neuroscience, measurements of “resting baseline” are often considered stable
across age and used as a reference point against which to judge cognitive state. The task …

Adolescent maturation of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex glutamate: GABA and cognitive function is supported by dopamine-related neurobiology
Developmental changes in prefrontal cortex (PFC) excitatory (glutamatergic, Glu) and
inhibitory (gamma-aminobutryic acid, GABA) neurotransmitter balance (E: I) have been …

[HTML][HTML] Early childhood stress is associated with blunted development of ventral tegmental area functional connectivity
Early life stress increases risk for later psychopathology, due in part to changes in
dopaminergic brain systems that support reward processing and motivation. Work in animals …

[HTML][HTML] Contributions of dopamine-related basal ganglia neurophysiology to the developmental effects of incentives on inhibitory control
Inhibitory control can be less reliable in adolescence, however, in the presence of rewards,
adolescents' performance often improves to adult levels. Dopamine is known to play a role …
