Mag. Reson. Img., in press). The initial phase of the study will establish
baseline neurotransmitter levels, cerebral blood flow (e.g., perfusion MRI) and
EEG frequency and power at rest in children, adolescents, and adults. 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. In addition, we will
investigate changes in these physiological markers with (a) memory tasks (see
Michels et al., 2010, PLoS ONE) and (b) attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
