Problem:
Lupien and her colleagues published a review article in 2009 in which they summarized the ways that stress might impact development of the nervous system. Which of the following options is the most accurate description of their research?
a. All of the structures that they highlight have a similar developmental time course.
b. Of the structures that they highlight, only the hippocampus is still developing beyond adolescence.
c. The prolonged time course of amygdala development suggests that synaptic rearrangement in this brain area is important for stress responding.
d. Stress is known to prolong the developmental time course of limbic system structures.
