Abstract in brief

Adolescence may be a second critical period for brain development, especially in areas like memory, social stress response, and drug use, similar to early childhood.
Research, including studies on rodents, neuroimaging, and human behavior, suggests that the adolescent brain is highly adaptable or neuroplastic, but clear proof of sensitive periods is still missing.
To confirm sensitive periods in adolescence, future experimental studies should directly alter environmental factors and compare effects across children, adolescents, and adults.]
