Charting human brain maturation between childhood and adulthood is a fundamental
prerequisite for understanding the rapid biological and psychological changes during …

It remains unclear if changes of the cerebral cortex occur gradually from childhood to
adulthood, or if adolescence marks a differential period of cortical development. In the …

Understanding how brain development normally proceeds is a premise of understanding
neurodevelopmental disorders. This has sparked a wealth of magnetic resonance imaging …

Several reports have described cortical thickness (CTh) developmental trajectories, with
conflicting results. Some studies have reported inverted-U shape curves with peaks of CTh …

Cortical maturation, including age-related changes in thickness, volume, surface area, and
folding (gyrification), play a central role in developing brain function and plasticity. Further …

Background Cortical gray matter thinning occurs during childhood due to pruning of
inefficient synaptic connections and an increase in myelination. Preterms show alterations in …

Several studies using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans have shown developmental
trajectories of cortical thickness. Cognitive milestones happen concurrently with these …

What we know about cortical development during adolescence largely stems from analyses
of cross‐sectional or cohort‐sequential samples, with few studies investigating brain …

Cortical thickness decreases from childhood throughout life, as estimated by magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). This monotone trajectory does not reflect the fundamentally …

A fundamental task in neuroscience is to characterize the brain's developmental course.
While replicable group-level models of structural brain development from childhood to …
