Cortical morphometry and structural connectivity relate to executive function and estradiol level in healthy adolescents

ConclusionsThe study provides evidence that the relationship between EF behavior and estradiol level related to bidirectional GM and WM differences, implying estradiol level has an influence on the putative structural regions underlying EF behavior. The findings represent a crucial link between EF behavior and hormonal influence on brain structure in adolescence.
