Summary

This study aims to understand how the hormonal changes of puberty affect brain development, stress response, and behavior in children. Researchers will follow healthy boys and girls from age 8 to 17, using brain scans, hormone tests, and behavioral assessments every 8-10 months. The goal is to learn why some mental health conditions, like depression, become more common after puberty and differ between boys and girls.
