💊 🍸 Risk for substance use disorder (SUD) rises in adolescence. Family history and biological sex play major roles in a person's level of SUD risk. New evidence suggests neural markers of SUD may exist before substance use starts - yet how these markers differ across sexes is not understood.

There are sex differences in brain connectivity and some of them become more pronounced with age.
A particular spike happens during puberty, for example.

Brain differences between sexes get more pronounced from puberty
Study could help reveal why some mental health disorders vary between men and women — but it's not clear whether the differences are due to sex or gender.
