Importance The very early postnatal period witnesses extraordinary rates of growth, but
structural brain development in this period has largely not been explored longitudinally …

Elucidation of infant brain development is a critically important goal given the enduring
impact of these early processes on various domains including later cognition and language …

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 …

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

Serial regional brain growth from the newborn period to adolescence has not been
described. Here, we measured regional brain growth in 216 very preterm (VP) and 45 full …

Objective Preterm infants have reduced cerebral tissue volumes in adolescence. This study
addresses the question: Is reduced global brain growth in the neonatal period inevitable …

Advances in neuroimaging have ushered in a new era of developmental neuroscience.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is particularly well suited for pediatric studies because it …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive method to measure brain structure and
function that may be applied to human participants of all ages. This chapter reviews our …

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 …

The arrival of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has offered major advances in our
understanding of both normal and abnormal neurodevelopment. This review is a broad …
