Infants born prematurely are at high risk to develop white matter injury (WMI), due to
exposure to hypoxic and/or inflammatory insults. Such perinatal insults negatively impact the …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive method to measure brain structure and
function that may be applied to human participants of all ages. This chapter reviews our …

Spatial normalization and segmentation of pediatric brain magnetic resonance images (MRI)
data with adult templates may impose biases and limitations in pediatric neuroimaging work …

Genetic and environmental factors influence brain structure and function profoundly. The

While brain gray matter is primarily associated with sensorimotor processing and cognition,
white matter modulates the distribution of action potentials, coordinates communication …

Recent evidence highlighted the importance of white matter tracts in typical and atypical
behaviors. White matter dynamically changes in response to learning, stress, and social …
