Structural MRI allows unparalleled in vivo study of the anatomy of the developing human
brain. For more than two decades [1], MRI research has revealed many new aspects of this …

Rapid and widespread changes in brain anatomy and physiology in the first five years of life
present substantial challenges for developmental structural, functional, and diffusion MRI …

BACKGROUND: Neural development during human childhood and adolescence involves
highly coordinated and sequenced events, characterized by both progressive and …

Assessment of healthy brain maturation can be useful toward better understanding natural
patterns of brain growth and toward the characterization of a variety of neurodevelopmental …

While the main neural networks are in place at term birth, intense changes in cortical
microstructure occur during early infancy with the development of dendritic arborization …

Multi-contrast MRI captures information about brain macro-and micro-structure which can be
combined in an integrated model to obtain a detailed “fingerprint” of the anatomical …

The first postnatal years are an exceptionally dynamic and critical period of structural,
functional and connectivity development of the human brain. The increasing availability of …

Early brain development, from the embryonic period to infancy, is characterized by rapid
structural and functional changes. These changes can be studied using structural and …

Recent resting-state functional MRI investigations have demonstrated that much of the large-
scale functional network architecture supporting motor, sensory and cognitive functions in …

The study of the function and structure of the human brain dates back centuries, when
philosophers and physicians theorized about the localization of specific cognitive functions …
