Children aged 10 and adolescents aged 12
Using longitudinal data from the ABCD Study (n=4862), researchers found that neural signatures of task-control networks at ages 10–12 predict cognitive development and interact with environmental factors.
- Field
- the brain and neuroscience
- What they did
- Researchers examined how brain functions at ages 10 and 12 relate to cognitive abilities and environmental factors like family and neighborhood.
- Why it matters
- This will help understand how the environment influences brain and cognitive development in adolescents.
