Brain anatomy changes with maturation to adolescence

Neuroscience NewsSeptember 25, 2019

White matter tracts show increasing maturation with age from the back to the front of the brain. The maturations begin as a child reaches 9-12 years of age. The maturity correlates with a critical and formative period of development.... Read More...

ADHD medication may affect brain development in children

Neuroscience NewsAugust 13, 2019

Methylphenidate, a drug given to help treat ADHD, affects specific tract in white matter in young boys. The effects are age dependant as the changes were not observed in adults who use the treatment. Researchers say the drug should only be given to children if they are significantly affected by ADHD in their daily lives.... Read More...
