Abstract
Adolescence is the transitional stage of physical, psychological and social development between childhood and adulthood. During adolescence there are structural and functional changes in the ‘social brain', that is the network of brain regions involved in understanding other people's mental states and emotions. The social brain includes the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), the posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) and the temporal poles, regions which undergo developmental change in terms of grey and white matter as measured using structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and also functional activity during social cognition tasks, as measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
