This editorial highlights the study by Pincham and colleagues, which investigated the neural effects of psychosocial interventions in at-risk adolescents. Using event-related potentials (ERPs), the study assessed changes in neural and behavioral functions related to decision-making, particularly focusing on impulsivity and responses to social provocation. The findings indicated that shorter intervention exposure was associated with immature decision-making and diminished feedback processing. This research underscores the utility of ERPs as biomarkers for evaluating therapeutic changes and emphasizes their potential in assessing interventions for hard-to-reach populations.

Abstract
This editorial highlights the study by Pincham and colleagues, which investigated the neural effects of psychosocial interventions in at-risk adolescents. Using event-related potentials (ERPs), the study assessed changes in neural and behavioral functions related to decision-making, particularly focusing on impulsivity and responses to social provocation. The findings indicated that shorter intervention exposure was associated with immature decision-making and diminished feedback processing. This research underscores the utility of ERPs as biomarkers for evaluating therapeutic changes and emphasizes their potential in assessing interventions for hard-to-reach populations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
