ABSTRACT
Adolescent development of human brain structural and functional networks is increasingly recognized as fundamental to emergence of typical and atypical adult cognitive and emotional proodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data collected from N [Formula see text] 300 healthy adolescents (51%; female; 14 to 26 y) each scanned repeatedly in an accelerated longitudinal design, to provide an analyzable dataset of 469 structural scans and 448 functional MRI scans. We estimated the morphometric similarity between each possible pair of 358 cortical areas on a feature vector comprising six macro- and microstructural MRI metrics, resulting in a morphometric similarity network (MSN) for each scan. Over the course of adolescence, we found that morphometric similarity increased in paralimbic cortical areas, e.g., insula and cingulate cortex, but generally decreased in neocortical areas, and these results were replicated in an independent developmental MRI cohort (N [Formula see text] 304). Increasing hubness of paralimbic nodes in MSNs was associated with increased strength of coupling between their morphometric similarity and functional connectivity. Decreasing hubness of neocortical nodes in MSNs was associated with reduced strength of structure-function coupling and increasingly diverse functional connections in the corresponding fMRI networks. Neocortical areas became more structurally differentiated and more functionally integrative in a metabolically expensive process linked to cortical thinning and myelination, whereas paralimbic areas specialized for affective and interoceptive functions became less differentiated, as hypothetically predicted by a developmental transition from periallocortical to proisocortical organization of the cortex. Cytoarchitectonically distinct zones of the human cortex undergo distinct neurodevelopmental programs during typical adolescence.
