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

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 …

The potential for commonly used anesthetics and sedatives to cause neuroapoptosis and
other neurodegenerative changes in the developing mammalian brain has become evident …

The human brain undergoes rapid growth in both structure and function from infancy through
early childhood, and this significantly influences cognitive and behavioral development in …

The third trimester of pregnancy represents a sensitive phase for infant brain plasticity when
a series of fast-developing cellular events (synaptogenesis, neuronal migration, and …

Early brain development, from the embryonic period to infancy, is characterized by rapid
structural and functional changes. These changes can be studied using structural and …

During the second and third trimesters of human gestation, rapid neurodevelopment is
underpinned by fundamental processes including neuronal migration, cellular organization …

The most prominent transient compartment of the primate fetal cortex is the deep, cell-
sparse, synapse-containing subplate compartment (SPC). The developmental role of the …

Sex-related differences in brain and behavior are apparent across the life course, but the
exact set of processes that guide their emergence in utero remains a topic of vigorous …

Altered structural fetal brain development has been linked to neuro-developmental
disorders. These structural alterations can be potentially detected in utero using diffusion …
