Human brain development has been studied intensively with neuroimaging. However, little
is known about how genes influence developmental brain trajectories, even though a …

Normal brain development during childhood is a complex and dynamic process for which
detailed scientific information is lacking. MRI techniques, combined with methods for …

The past 15years has seen a rapid expansion in the number of studies using neuroimaging
techniques to investigate maturational changes in the human brain. In this paper, I review …

Developmental structural neuroimaging studies in humans have long described decreases
in gray matter volume (GMV) and cortical thickness (CT) during adolescence. Gray matter …

Background The literature on brain imaging in premature infants is mostly made up of
studies that evaluate neonates, yet the most dynamic time of brain development happens …

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 …

Importance The neurobiological underpinnings underlying sex differences in cognition
during adolescence are largely unknown. Objective To examine sex differences in brain …

Based on the Huttenlocher lecture, this article describes the need for a more integrative
scientific paradigm for addressing important questions raised by key observations made …

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