This review critically examines the research findings which characterize the cognitive,
behavioral, and neuroanatomical features of Williams syndrome (WS). This article analyzes …

Williams syndrome, a rare disorder caused by hemizygous microdeletion of about 28 genes
on chromosome 7q11. 23, has long intrigued neuroscientists with its unique combination of …

The folding of the human cerebral cortex is a highly genetically regulated process that
allows for a much larger surface area to fit into the cranial vault and optimizes functional …

We investigated the scale relationship between size and cortical structure of human brains
in a large sample of magnetic resonance imaging data. Cortical structure was estimated with …

Functional MRI (fMRI) has had a major impact in cognitive neuroscience. fMRI now has a
small but growing role in clinical neuroimaging, with initial applications to neurosurgical …

Portrayals of individuals with Williams syndrome (WS), a genetic disorder caused by a
microdeletion of∼ 25 genes on chromosome 7q11. 23, have reached the general public …

Surface registration between cortical surfaces is crucial in medical imaging for performing
systematic comparisons between brains. Landmark-matching registration that matches …

We investigated the changes of sulcal shape (average mean curvature in folded regions and
sulcal depth) in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) using …

Over 90 years ago, anatomists noted the cortex is thinner in sulci than gyri, suggesting that
development may occur on a fine scale driven by local topology. However, studies of brain …

We analyzed folding abnormalities in the cerebral cortex of subjects with Williams syndrome
(WS), a genetically based developmental disorder, using surface-based analyses applied to …
