AB  - In this fMRI study, we investigated the development between adolescence and 
      adulthood of the neural processing of social emotions. Unlike basic emotions 
      (such as disgust and fear), social emotions (such as guilt and embarrassment) 
      require the representation of another's mental states. Nineteen adolescents 
      (10-18 years) and 10 adults (22-32 years) were scanned while thinking about 
      scenarios featuring either social or basic emotions. In both age groups, the 
      anterior rostral medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) was activated during social 
      versus basic emotion. However, adolescents activated a lateral part of the MPFC 
      for social versus basic emotions, whereas adults did not. Relative to 
      adolescents, adults showed higher activity in the left temporal pole for social 
      versus basic emotions. These results show that, although the MPFC is activated 
      during social emotion in both adults and adolescents, adolescents recruit 
      anterior (MPFC) regions more than do adults, and adults recruit posterior 
      (temporal) regions more than do adolescents.
