Menarche, pubertal timing and the brain: female-specific patterns of brain maturation beyond age-related development

ConclusionsThis study demonstrates the use of a machine learning model to classify menarche status from structural MRI data while accounting for age-related neurodevelopment. Given its sensitivity towards measures of puberty timing, our work suggests that menarche class probabilities may be developed toward an objective brain-based marker of pubertal development.
