Adolescence can be considered to last from weaning (generally PND 21) until rodents achieve complete sexual, behavioral, and neurobiological maturity around PND 60. It can be further divided into early (~PND 21–34), middle (~PND 35–45), and late (~PND 45–60) periods where animals exhibit different epochs of sexual development and exhibit certain behavioral and neurobiological characteristics.
