Multivariate and regional age-related change in basal ganglia iron in neonates
Laura Cabral, Finnegan J Calabro, Will Foran, Ashley C Parr, Amar Ojha, Jerod Rasmussen, Rafael Ceschin, Ashok Panigrahy, Beatriz Luna
Abstract
In the perinatal period, reward and cognitive systems begin trajectories, influencing later psychiatric risk. The basal ganglia is important for reward and cognitive processing but early development has not been fully characterized. To assess age-related development, we us…text/html2024-09-06T16:24:43+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Striatal dopamine supports reward expectation and learning: A simultaneous PET/fMRI study

Striatal dopamine supports reward expectation and learning: A simultaneous PET/fMRI study
Finnegan J Calabro, David F Montez, Bart Larsen, Charles M Laymon, William Foran, Michael N Hallquist, Julie C Price, Beatriz Luna
Abstract
Converging evidence from both human neuroimaging and animal studies has supported a model of mesolimbic processing underlying reward learning behaviors, based on the computation of reward prediction errors. However, competing evidence supports human dopamine signali…text/html2024-07-02T19:36:30+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)LNCD Research Introduction References

Puberty contributes to adolescent development of fronto-striatal functional connectivity supporting inhibitory control
Amar Ojha, Ashley C Parr, William Foran, Finnegan J Calabro, Beatriz Luna
Abstract
Adolescence is defined by puberty and represents a period characterized by neural circuitry maturation (e.g., fronto-striatal systems) facilitating cognitive improvements. Though studies have characterized age-related changes, the extent to which puberty influences maturation of fronto-striata…text/html2023-09-19T01:02:31+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Adolescent neurocognitive development

Adolescent neurocognitive development
Orma Ravindranath, Ashley C Parr, Maria I Perica, Samuel Elliott, Beatriz Luna
Abstract
Adolescence is generally defined as beginning at the onset of puberty, and ending when adult independence is reached. The adolescent period reflects a time of peak sensation seeking, which supports information seeking and exploration that is necessary to gain new experiences required to support the transition to adulthood. Although adaptive, sensation seeking can also…text/html2024-09-06T16:24:14+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Variation in Striatal Dopamine-Related Neurophysiology Supports Age-Related Differences in GABA and Glutamate Through Human Adolescence

Contributions of dopamine-related basal ganglia neurophysiology to the developmental effects of incentives on inhibitory control
Ashley C Parr, Finnegan Calabro, Brenden Tervo-Clemmens, Bart Larsen, Will Foran, Beatriz Luna
Abstract
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 in signaling rewards and supporting cognition, but its role in the enhancing effe…text/html2024-09-06T15:25:45+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Adolescent-to-adult gains in cognitive flexibility are adaptively supported by reward sensitivity, exploration, and neural variability

Abstract
Cognitive flexibility exhibits dynamic changes throughout development, with different forms of flexibility showing dissociable developmental trajectories.

Hippocampal-Prefrontal Connectivity Prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic Predicts Stress Reactivity
Maria I Perica, Orma Ravindranath, Finnegan J Calabro, William Foran, Beatriz Luna
Abstract
Background
By adolescence, foundational cognitive and affective neurobehavioral processes specialize based on environmental demands, such as stress, to determine the basis of adult trajectories. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has increased stress for everyone, particularly adolescents who face unique stressor…text/html2024-09-06T16:23:18+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Impact of stress on excitatory and inhibitory markers of adolescent cognitive critical period plasticity

Impact of stress on excitatory and inhibitory markers of adolescent cognitive critical period plasticity
Maria I Perica, Beatriz Luna
Abstract
Adolescence is a time of significant neurocognitive development. Prolonged maturation of prefrontal cortex (PFC) through adolescence has been found to support improvements in executive function. Changes in excitatory and inhibitory mechanisms of critical period plasticity have been found to be present in the PFC through adolescence, suggesting that en…text/html2023-09-19T14:09:20+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Pubertal development underlies optimization of inhibitory control through specialization of ventrolateral prefrontal cortex

Pubertal development underlies optimization of inhibitory control through specialization of ventrolateral prefrontal cortex
Orma Ravindranath, Finnegan J Calabro, William Foran, Beatriz Luna
Abstract
Inhibitory control improves into young adulthood after specialization of relevant brain systems during adolescence. However, the biological mechanisms supporting this unique transition are not well understood. Given that adolescence is defined by puberty, we examined relative contributions of ch…
