We investigated the impact of HPG-axis activity on brain morphometry. A total number of 52 subjects were recruited and scanned structural MRI.HPG-axis activated girls had less cortical thickness in the left inferiorparietal relative to comparison subjects. Meanwhile, gray matter volume was greater in the left precuneus in the focused group, relative to the control group. We found a positive correlation between circulating FSH and volume after excluded one outlier. This study demonstrates that there is some puberty-related maturation of the brain morphometry that is not confounded by age in the earlier stage of puberty.
