With the emergence of non-invasive methods like magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), there is growing evidence of maturationalchanges in both neuro-anatomical structures and neural activationpatterns. Developmental changes have been shown to last until adolescence.In study 1, we examined the impact of steroids on the developing brain andfound that amygdala and hippocampal as well as parietal volumes were associatedwith circulating testosterone levels. In the studies 2 to 5 we adresseddifferences in brain activation patterns of attention between childrenand adults, where children were either normally developing children orchildren with ADHD. We found differences in the developmental trajectoriesin the fronto-striatal pathway between children with and without ADHD, aswell as an increase in brain connectivity in a fronto- parietal network withadolescence. We conclude, that the puberty might have organizational effectson the developing human brain, which manifests itself in both, brainstructure and function.
