Brain aging is a complex process that affects everything from the subcellular to the organ
level, begins early in life, and accelerates with age. Morphologically, brain aging is primarily …

Mechanical tension along the length of axons, dendrites, and glial processes has been
proposed as a major contributor to morphogenesis throughout the nervous system [DC Van …

In vivo tractography based on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) has opened
new doors to study structure–function relationships in the human brain. Initially developed to …

Cognitive Neuroscience of Language provides an up-to-date, wide-ranging, and
pedagogically practical survey of the most important developments in this exciting field. It …

The human cerebral cortex develops rapidly and dynamically in the first 2 years of life. It has
been shown that cortical surface expansion from term infant to adult is highly nonuniform in …

Diffusion MRI fiber tractography has been increasingly used to map the structural
connectivity of the human brain. However, this technique is not without limitations; for …

Why the cerebral cortex folds in some mammals but not in others has long fascinated and
mystified neurobiologists. Over the past century—especially the past decade—researchers …

Folding of the cerebral cortex is a prominent characteristic of mammalian brains. Alterations
or deficits in cortical folding are strongly correlated with abnormal brain function, cognition …

Cortical gyrification of the brain represents the folding characteristic of the cerebral cortex.
How the brain cortical gyrification changes from childhood to old age in healthy human …

Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) has provided unparalleled insight into the microscopic
structure and organization of the central nervous system. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and …
