Delineating the normal development of brain white matter (WM) over the human lifespan is
crucial to improved understanding of underlying WM pathology in neuropsychiatric and …

The development of the brain is structure-specific, and the growth rate of each structure
differs depending on the age of the subject. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often used …

Living in poverty places children at very high risk for problems across a variety of domains,
including schooling, behavioral regulation, and health. Aspects of cognitive functioning …

Background Antenatal maternal cortisol levels associate with alterations in the amygdala, a
structure associated with emotion regulation, in the offspring. However, because offspring …

Quantification of brain development as well as disease‐induced pathologies in neonates
often requires precise delineation of white matter, grey matter and cerebrospinal fluid. Unlike …

Intelligent behavior is not a one-dimensional phenomenon. Individual differences in human
cognitive abilities might be therefore described by a 'cognitive manifold'of intercorrelated …

Many large-scale longitudinal imaging studies have been or are being widely conducted to
better understand the progress of neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders and …

Due to the rapid anatomical changes that occur within the brain structure in early human
development and the significant differences between infant brains and the widely used …

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is commonly used for studies of the human brain due to its
inherent sensitivity to the microstructural architecture of white matter. To increase sampling …

In this work we propose a novel SSIM (Structural Similarity Index Measure)-guided brain
tissue classification approach, implementing Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis (KFDA). In …
