neurotransmitter levels, cerebral blood flow (e.g., perfusion MRI) and EEG
frequency and power at rest across a range of age groups. Examining the
interactions between these markers and the changes they demonstrate with age
and hormone levels will allow to better understanding the global and regional
processes underlying brain maturation. The later phases will investigate
changes in these physiological markers with (a) <u>cognitive tasks</u> and (b) <u>attention
