This chapter reviews new studies of normative brain development during childhood and adolescence that have been performed with sophisticated new brain mapping techniques, including cortical pattern matching (CPM). These studies have enabled the mapping of structural changes over the entire cortical surface, advancing the understanding of the timing and localization of the alterations that occur as part of the sculpting of the human brain at various ages. Changes in cortical thickness and brain volume from childhood to adulthood are described using these new methods. Variations in brain maturation are also related to language development and to the effects of fetal alcohol exposure and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Keywords:   adolescent brain development, brain mapping, brain imaging, cortical pattern matching, cortical thickness, cortical volume
