纵向神经影像学研究表明，青少年的大脑继续成熟到20多岁。这引起了将神经成熟与判断成熟联系起来的强烈兴趣。公共政策正在努力跟上对认知神经科学和神经成像的新兴兴趣。然而，将神经发育过程与青少年现实世界行为联系起来的经验证据仍然很少。尽管如此，青少年大脑发育研究已经在塑造关于个人何时应该被视为政策目的成熟的公共政策辩论。考虑到这一点，在本文中，我们总结了关于青少年大脑发育的已知信息和未知信息，以及神经科学可以和不能告诉我们关于青少年大脑和行为的信息。我们认为，一个概念框架，将脑科学定位在更广泛的青少年发展研究的背景下，将有助于促进研究政策的翻译。此外，尽管当代关于青少年成熟度和大脑的讨论经常使用基于缺陷的方法，但脑科学有巨大的机会来阐明青少年大脑的巨大优势和潜力。因此，这些信息也可以为促进青少年健康和福祉的政策提供信息。
Longitudinal neuroimaging studies demonstrate that the adolescent brain continues to mature well into the 20s. This has prompted intense interest in linking neuromaturation to maturity of judgment. Public policy is struggling to keep up with burgeoning interest in cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging. However, empirical evidence linking neurodevelopmental processes and adolescent real-world behavior remains sparse. Nonetheless, adolescent brain development research is already shaping public policy debates about when individuals should be considered mature for policy purposes. With this in mind, in this article we summarize what is known about adolescent brain development and what remains unknown, as well as what neuroscience can and cannot tell us about the adolescent brain and behavior. We suggest that a conceptual framework that situates brain science in the broader context of adolescent developmental research would help to facilitate research-to-policy translation. Furthermore, although contemporary discussions of adolescent maturity and the brain often use a deficit-based approach, there is enormous opportunity for brain science to illuminate the great strengths and potentialities of the adolescent brain. So, too, can this information inform policies that promote adolescent health and well-being.
