Adolescents (N\u2009=\u2009299, Mage T1\u2009=\u200913.98 years) were followed across three biannual waves. We analysed self-reported friendship quality with the best friend at T1 and T3, and bilateral measures of surface area and cortical thickness of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS), temporoparietal junction (TPJ) and precuneus across all waves. At the group level, growth curve models confirmed non-linear decreases of surface area and cortical thickness in social brain regions. We identified substantial individual differences in levels and change rates of social brain regions, especially for surface area of the mPFC, pSTS and TPJ. Change rates of cortical thickness varied less between persons. Higher levels of mPFC surface area and cortical thickness predicted stronger increases in friendship quality over time. Moreover, faster cortical thinning of mPFC surface area predicted a stronger increase in friendship quality. Higher levels of TPJ cortical thickness predicted lower friendship quality. Together, our results indicate heterogeneity in social brain development and how this variability uniquely predicts friendship quality development.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/scan\/nsaa166","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,3]],"date-time":"2020-12-03T07:38:23Z","timestamp":1606981103000},"page":"292-301","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Beyond the average brain: individual differences in social brain development are associated with friendship quality"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1438-9550","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrik I","family":"Becht","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Rotterdam 3062PA, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Research Center Adolescent Development, Utrecht University, Utrecht 3584CS, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Brain and Development Research Center, Leiden University, Leiden 2333AK, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9362-563X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lara M","family":"Wierenga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brain and Development Research Center, Leiden University, Leiden 2333AK, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathryn L","family":"Mills","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosa","family":"Meuwese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brain and Development Research Center, Leiden University, Leiden 2333AK, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"van Duijvenvoorde","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brain and Development Research Center, Leiden University, Leiden 2333AK, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sarah-Jayne","family":"Blakemore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 3EB, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Berna","family":"G\u00fcro\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brain and Development Research Center, Leiden University, Leiden 2333AK, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eveline A","family":"Crone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Rotterdam 3062PA, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Brain and Development Research Center, Leiden University, Leiden 2333AK, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021031001372804500_R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.1007\/978-1-4612-1694-0_16","volume-title":"Selected Papers of Hirotugu Akaike","author":"Akaike","year":"1998"},{"key":"2021031001372804500_R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"823","DOI":"10.1111\/cdev.13048","article-title":"Goal-directed correlates and neurobiological underpinnings of adolescent identity: a multimethod multisample longitudinal approach","volume":"89","author":"Becht","year":"2018","journal-title":"Child Development"},{"key":"2021031001372804500_R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biopsych.2020.01.027","article-title":"Modeling individual differences in brain development","volume":"88","author":"Becht","year":"2020","journal-title":"Biological Psychiatry"},{"issue":"1","key":"2021031001372804500_R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1111\/1467-8721.00157","article-title":"Friendship quality and social development","volume":"11","author":"Berndt","year":"2002","journal-title":"Current Directions in Psychological Science"},{"key":"2021031001372804500_R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"111","DOI":"10.1258\/jrsm.2011.110221","article-title":"Development of the social brain in adolescence","volume":"105","author":"Blakemore","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine"},{"key":"2021031001372804500_R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"187","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev-psych-010213-115202","article-title":"Is adolescence a sensitive period for sociocultural processing?","volume":"65","author":"Blakemore","year":"2014","journal-title":"Annual Review of Psychology"},{"key":"2021031001372804500_R7","volume-title":"In: Lerner, R.M., Steinberg L.
