Highlights• We tested associations between structural brain development and identity. • We found 2 identity classes: an identity synthesis and identity moratorium class. • LPFC/ACC and MPFC and nucleus accumbens showed delayed maturation in adolescence. • Identity subroups differed on nucleus accumbens level and change. • Delayed maturation of LPFC/ACC and MPFC predicted in-depth identity exploration.
