Quantitative MRI techniques based on morphology and tissue microstructure dependent
contrast provide a unique window on brain development in the neonatal period. The …

The developing brain undergoes systematic changes that occur at successive stages of
maturation. Deviations from the typical neurodevelopmental trajectory are hypothesized to …

Human brain maturation is a dynamic and complex process that extends well into adulthood.
Understanding developmental changes in brain structure is of fundamental importance in …

Abstract Information on normal brain structure and development facilitates the recognition of
abnormal developmental trajectories and thus needs to be studied in more detail. We …

Over the last decade, non-invasive, high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging has
