 rsity of California\, Berkeley</p><p>Adolescence is a formative period in d
 evelopment\, and there is a growing endorsement of an “adolescent-sensitive
  period.” What does this mean? While we know experience in adolescence can 
 have a lasting impact on behavioral or brain function in adulthood\, why is
  this so? In my talk\, I will share what we have learned by examining learn
 ing\, spine pruning\, puberty\, maturation of inhibition and functional act
 ivity in the mouse adolescent frontal cortices. I then hope to discuss the 
 idea that an adolescent-sensitive period may exist in rodents for learning 
 and decision-making (and frontal-basal ganglia circuit function) to support
  adaptive foraging behavior.</p><p><a href="https://neuroscience.wustl.edu/
