Institute fellow Katie Insel publishes a new perspective article in Neuropsychopharmacology.

In this paper, Institute fellow Katie Insel, along with colleagues at Northeastern University, explains how the striatum and the hippocampus work together to support adolescent development. These systems mature at different rates and interact in complex ways, which may shape how teens make decisions, respond to feedback, and form memories over time. Understanding these developmental patterns could help identify new opportunities to support mental health during this critical stage of life.
