abstract = "Improvements in cognitive control over childhood and adolescence have long been attributed to the “coming online” of prefrontal cortex (PFC). However, fMRI studies reveal that children can engage PFC for cognitive control just as much as adults do—if not more so. We argue that gains in cognitive control are linked most closely to strengthening of the anatomical pathways that enable PFC to communicate efficiently and reliably with distant brain regions.",
