O córtex pré-frontal (CPF) é responsável pela aquisição, execução e controlo de várias funções cerebrais, desde respostas motoras básicas a complexos processos de decisão. O desenvolvimento e maturação cerebral inicia-se durante o período gestacional e termina, presumivelmente, na fase final da adolescência e início da vida adulta. O CPF é a última região neocortical a atingir a fase final de maturação, o que explica a labilidade emocional e imaturidade, impulsividade, excitação e comportamento arriscado, típico da adolescência. Apesar dos inúmeros esforços para clarificar o processo de maturação do cérebro humano e as suas capacidades diferenciadoras, o desenvolvimento no adulto jovem não é totalmente compreendido. Com a presente revisão pretende-se descrever o papel dos lobos frontais, particularmente o CPF, no comportamento humano e suas capacidades distintivas, e o impacto do seu desenvolvimento na fase final da adolescência e início da vida adulta.
