A recent fMRI study found a non-linear relationship between age and cognitive reappraisal (important for emotion regulation) alongside decreased engagement of several brain regions (including several prefrontal areas) during an emotion regulation task, leading to the conclusion that «adolescents may process the emotional value of stimuli differently than either children or adults» (McRae et al. 2012, p. 17).
