Studying how the healthy human brain develops is important to understand early
pathological mechanisms and to assess the influence of fetal or perinatal events on later life …

The exquisite soft tissue contrast provided by magnetic resonance imaging arises principally
from differences in the intrinsic relaxation properties, T 1 and T 2. Although the intricate …

The Developing Human Connectome Project has created a large open science resource
which provides researchers with data for investigating typical and atypical brain …

Importance The very early postnatal period witnesses extraordinary rates of growth, but
structural brain development in this period has largely not been explored longitudinally …

Purpose Advanced diffusion magnetic resonance imaging benefits from collecting as much
data as is feasible but is highly sensitive to subject motion and the risk of data loss increases …

Preterm birth engenders an increased risk of conditions like cerebral palsy and therefore this
time may be crucial for the brain's developing sensori-motor system. However, little is known …

Magnetization transfer ratio (MTR), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters and T1
relaxometry values were used to create parametric maps characterizing the tissue …

In the year 2002, magnetic field strength of more than 2 T was cleared for clinical patient
care. Since then, an increasing number of magnetic resonance (MR) systems operating at a …

There is growing interest in exploring fetal functional brain development, particularly with
Resting State fMRI. However, during a typical fMRI acquisition, the womb moves due to …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The alteration of brain maturation in preterm infants
contributes to neurodevelopmental disabilities during childhood. Serial imaging allows …
