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 …

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an ubiquitous pathogen, with a high worldwide
seroprevalence. When acquired in the prenatal period, congenital CMV (cCMV) is a major …

Magnetic resonance imaging, histological, and gene analysis approaches in living and
nonliving human fetuses and in prematurely born neonates have provided insight into the …

One factor that contributes to the high prevalence of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD)
is binge-like consumption of alcohol before pregnancy awareness. It is known that …

Fetal MRI is an increasingly used tool in the field of prenatal diagnosis. While US remains

The periventricular crossroads have been described as transient structures of the fetal brain
where major systems of developing fibers intersect. The triangular parietal crossroad …

Background White matter is responsible for inter-neuronal connections throughout the brain
that are a driving force in cognitive development. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) fiber …

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Geometric distortions resulting from large
pose changes reduce the accuracy of motion measurements and interfere with the ability to …

Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) provides indirect measures of white matter
microstructure that can be used to make inferences about structural connectivity within the …
