Neurodevelopment of the functional connectivity of the salience network in facial emotion recognition from adolescence to adulthood.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Adolescence is characterized by ongoing neurocognitive maturation, particularly in regions that support social-emotional processing and cognitive control. Despite extensive research on emotion regulation, the developmental trajectories of critical neural networks-such as the salience network and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)-remain incompletely understood. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 30 adolescents (12-18 years), 35 early adults (19-24 years), and 35 adults (25-34 years). While undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging, participants performed an emotional discrimination task on facial expressions. The imaging data were analyzed to assess the neural activity across the emotional conditions, and a generalized psychophysiological interaction approach was applied to examine salience network connectivity. Results: Adolescents exhibited lower behavioral performance than adults. Regarding brain activation, the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) and bilateral insula-key components of the salience network-seemingly differentiated adolescents from early adults and adults. In contrast, DLPFC activity distinguished adults from the two younger groups. Functional connectivity analyses revealed that adolescents either over-sustained or under-recruited dACC-insula connectivity during emotional transitions, correlating with poorer behavioral performance. Conclusion: These findings underscore distinct developmental trajectories for the salience network and the DLPFC, with adolescents showing heightened vulnerability in social-emotional processing and cognitive control.
