The teen brain: insights from neuroimaging
JN Giedd - Journal of adolescent health, 2008 - Elsevier
Few parents of a teenager are surprised to hear that the brain of a 16-year-old is different
from the brain of an 8-year-old. Yet to pin down these differences in a rigorous scientific way …

A qualitative and quantitative review of diffusion tensor imaging studies in reading and dyslexia
In this review paper we address whether deficits in reading (ie developmental dyslexia) are
rooted in neurobiological anomalies in white matter tracts. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) …

Growth of white matter in the adolescent brain: myelin or axon?
T Paus - Brain and cognition, 2010 - Elsevier
White matter occupies almost half of the human brain. It contains axons connecting spatially
segregated modules and, as such, it is essential for the smooth flow of information in …
