According to researchers, the maturation acceleration occurred three times as quickly in girls, with a mean acceleration of 4.2 years, according to researchers. According to the study, brain maturation is measured by the thickness of the cerebral cortex, which is the outer level of tissue in the brain. The cerebral cortex thins with age, but chronic stress and adversity can accelerate the process, leading to an increased risk for a variety of behavioral disorders.
“If you look at the figures showing which brain areas are involved, in girl teens it’s all over the brain, both hemispheres, all lobes,” Kuhl told NBC Chicago’s Health and Wellness Reporter Lauren Petty. “In boys, it’s only occipital cortex, meaning a visual cortex, and two little areas.”
