摘要
Heightened sensitivity to emotional faces may contribute to less risk taking and susceptibility to peer influence in adolescents. A longitudinal study from Pfeifer et al. reveals a developmental increase in ventral striatum activity in early adolescence in response to emotional faces, which correlates with improved measures of resistance to peer influence and risky behavior.
