In humans, the period from term birth to∼ 2 years of age is characterized by rapid and
dynamic brain development and plays an important role in cognitive development and risk of …

Studying how the healthy human brain develops is important to understand early
pathological mechanisms and to assess the influence of fetal or perinatal events on later life …

Tractography based on diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) data is a method for identifying the
major white matter fascicles (tracts) in the living human brain. The health of these tracts is an …

Dynamic macrostructural and microstructural changes take place from the mid-fetal stage to
2 years after birth. Delineating structural changes of the brain during early development …

Cortical thickness (CT) and surface area (SA) are altered in many neuropsychiatric disorders
and are correlated with cognitive functioning. Little is known about how these components of …

The human brain develops slowly and over a long period of time which lasts for almost three
decades. This enables good spatio-temporal resolution of histogenetic and neurogenetic …

In recent years, exploration of the developing brain has become a major focus for
researchers and clinicians in an attempt to understand what allows children to acquire …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has allowed the unprecedented capability to measure
the human brain in vivo. This technique has paved the way for longitudinal studies exploring …

In the last decade, diffusion MRI (dMRI) studies of the human and animal brain have been
used to investigate a multitude of pathologies and drug-related effects in neuroscience …

The purpose of the present study was to detail the childhood developmental course of
different white matter (WM) characteristics. In a longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) …
