cognitive, sensory, or motor function and a set of brain structures. It includes both the hosting …

Hemispheric asymmetry is a cardinal feature of human brain organization. Altered brain
asymmetry has also been linked to some cognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, the …

The development and persistence of laterality is a key feature of human motor behavior, with

Brain size variation over primate evolution and human development is associated with shifts
in the proportions of different brain regions. Individual brain size can vary almost twofold …

Background Atlases of brain anatomical ROIs are widely used for functional MRI data
analysis. Recently, it was proposed that an atlas of ROIs derived from a functional brain …

Failure to develop normal language comprehension is an early warning sign of autism, but
the neural mechanisms underlying this signature deficit are unknown. This is because of an …

Cortical surface area is an increasingly used brain morphology metric that is ontogenetically
and phylogenetically distinct from cortical thickness and offers a separate index of …

Structural analysis of MRI data on the cortical surface usually focuses on cortical thickness.
Cortical surface area, when considered, has been measured only over gross regions or …

Importance A major obstacle to the identification of the neurobiological correlates of
schizophrenia is the substantial clinical heterogeneity present in this disorder. Dividing …

Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores tend to remain stable across the lifespan. Nevertheless, in
some healthy individuals, significant decreases or increases in IQ have been observed over …
