Immature neurons in the postnatal brain have been proposed as an alternative form of neural plasticity in mammals with limited adult neurogenesis. In addition to the canonical neurogenic niches, the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ) and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, immature neurons have been identified in other brain regions, including the piriform cortex and the paralaminar nucleus (PL) of the amygdala.
Adolescence is a transitional period in which an increasing ability to coordinate basic cognitive control abilities is also particularly challenged by contextual factors in the environment. The aim of this dissertation was to examine the development of complex cognitive control in adolescence in relation to different socio-affective contexts at the behavioural and neural level. The dissertation presents three functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments.
