Throughout infancy, childhood, and adolescence, our brains undergo remarkable changes.
Processes including myelination and synaptogenesis occur rapidly across the first 2–3 years …

Understanding typical, healthy brain development provides a baseline from which to detect
and characterize brain anomalies associated with various neurological or psychiatric …

Functional homotopy, the high degree of synchrony in spontaneous activity between
geometrically corresponding interhemispheric (ie, homotopic) regions, is a fundamental …

Training during a sensitive period in development may have greater effects on brain
structure and behavior than training later in life. Musicians are an excellent model for …

White matter tracts of the brain allow neurons and neuronal networks to communicate and
function with high efficiency. The aim of this review is to briefly introduce diffusion tensor …

Over the past decade, many studies have indicated that adolescence is a critical period of
brain development and maturation. The refinement and maturation of the central nervous …

The extent of sex differences in childhood language development is unclear. We conducted
a systematic literature review synthesizing results from studies examining sex differences in …

Aerobic fitness has been found to play a positive role in brain and cognitive health of
children. Yet, many of the neural biomarkers related to aerobic fitness remain unknown …

White matter occupies almost half of the human brain. It contains axons connecting spatially
segregated modules and, as such, it is essential for the smooth flow of information in …

The triadic neural systems model is a heuristic tool, which was developed with the goal of
providing a framework for neuroscience research into motivated behaviors. Unlike dual …
