Considerations for imaging the adolescent brain

Adriana Galván, Linda Van Leijenhorst, Kristine M. McGlennen

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience > 2012 > 2 > 3 > 293-302

In recent years the number of functional neuroimaging studies on adolescence has exploded. These studies have led to important new insights about the relation between functional brain development and behavior. However, special consideration is warranted when working with adolescents. In this review, we review variables, including pubertal stage, sleep patterns and pregnancy, which are particularly...

Habituation of visual evoked responses in neonates and fetuses: A MEG study

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience > 2012 > 2 > 3 > 303-316

In this study we aimed to develop a habituation paradigm that allows the investigation of response decrement and response recovery and examine its applicability for measuring the habituation of the visually evoked responses (VERs) in neonatal and fetal magnetoencephalographic recordings. Two paradigms, one with a long and one with a short inter-train interval (ITI), were developed and tested in separate...

Nonverbal spatially selective attention in 4- and 5-year-old children

Lisa D. Sanders, Benjamin H. Zobel

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience > 2012 > 2 > 3 > 317-328

Under some conditions 4- and 5-year-old children can differentially process sounds from attended and unattended locations. In fact, the latency of spatially selective attention effects on auditory processing as measured with event-related potentials (ERPs) is quite similar in young children and adults. However, it is not clear if developmental differences in the polarity, distribution, and duration...

Preserved stimulus-reward and reversal learning after selective neonatal orbital frontal areas 11/13 or amygdala lesions in monkeys

Andy M. Kazama, Jocelyne Bachevalier

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience > 2012 > 2 > 3 > 363-380

Neither lesions of orbital frontal (OFC) areas 11/13 nor selective amygdala lesions alter the ability to learn stimulus-reinforcer association and reversal discriminations in adult monkeys. Here, we investigated whether the same conclusion will hold true when the same lesions occur in infancy. Infant rhesus monkeys received sham-operations, neurotoxic amygdala lesions, or aspiration OFC 11/13 lesions...

Altered error-related brain activity in youth with major depression

Cecile D. Ladouceur, John S. Slifka, Ronald E. Dahl, Boris Birmaher, more

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience > 2012 > 2 > 3 > 351-362

Depression is associated with impairments in cognitive control including action monitoring processes, which involve the detection and processing of erroneous responses in order to adjust behavior. Although numerous studies have reported altered error-related brain activity in depressed adults, relatively little is known about age-related changes in error-related brain activity in depressed youth....

Withholding response in the face of a smile: Age-related differences in prefrontal sensitivity to Nogo cues following happy and angry faces

Rebecca M. Todd, Wayne Lee, Jennifer W. Evans, Marc D. Lewis, more

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience > 2012 > 2 > 3 > 340-350

The modulation of control processes by stimulus salience, as well as associated neural activation, changes over development. We investigated age-related differences in the influence of facial emotion on brain activation when an action had to be withheld, focusing on a developmental period characterized by rapid social-emotional and cognitive change. Groups of kindergarten and young school-aged children...

Flexible rule use: Common neural substrates in children and adults

Carter Wendelken, Yuko Munakata, Carol Baym, Michael Souza, more

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience > 2012 > 2 > 3 > 329-339

Flexible rule-guided behavior develops gradually, and requires the ability to remember the rules, switch between them as needed, and implement them in the face of competing information. Our goals for this study were twofold: first, to assess whether these components of rule-guided behavior are separable at the neural level, and second, to identify age-related differences in one or more component that...
