2…появляется все больше доказательств… – с тех пор как появилась функциональная магниторезонансная томография, изучение когнитивного развития детей, подростков и взрослых ведется полным ходом. Многие ученые исследуют развитие префронтальной коры, исполнительной функции, лимбической системы, белого вещества и миелина.
