Abstract in brief

  • The adolescent brain differs from the mature brain in several ways, including an immature prefrontal cortex, overresponsive limbic and striatal circuits, heightened neuroplasticity, an active dopamine system, a pronounced HPA axis, increased testosterone, and the influence of steroid hormones.
  • Research indicates that these developmental differences may make adolescents more sensitive to sexually explicit material, with overlapping brain regions involved in both adolescent development and response to such stimuli.
  • Due to limited empirical studies, it remains unclear whether adolescents are indeed more sensitive, and the brief recommends further research to better understand this relationship.
