The cortical patterning principle has been a long-standing question in neuroscience, yet
how this translates to macroscale functional specialization in the human brain remains …

Recent years have witnessed a surge of investigations examining functional brain
organization using resting-state functional connectivity MRI (rs-fcMRI). To date, this method …

Human cortical maturation has been posited to be organized along the sensorimotor-
association axis, a hierarchical axis of brain organization that spans from unimodal …

The protracted development of structural and functional brain connectivity within distributed
association networks coincides with improvements in higher-order cognitive processes such …

Connections between the thalamus and cortex develop rapidly before birth, and aberrant
cerebral maturation during this period may underlie a number of neurodevelopmental …

Late human development is characterized by the maturation of high-level functional
processes, which rely on reshaping of white matter connections, as well as synaptic density …

The human brain undergoes protracted developmental changes during which it constructs
functional networks that engender complex cognitive abilities. Understanding brain function …

Highlights•Thalamocortical interactions are crucial for thalamic and cortical
development.•Cortical neuronal specification and areas size are influenced by the …

Although commonly viewed as a sensory information relay center, the thalamus has been
increasingly recognized as an essential node in various higher-order cognitive circuits, and …

The brain is organized into networks at multiple resolutions, or scales, yet studies of
functional network development typically focus on a single scale. Here, we derive …
