The ability of fiber tractography to delineate non‐invasively the white matter fiber pathways
of the brain raises possibilities for clinical applications and offers enormous potential for …

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 …

Spanning functions from the simplest reflex arc to complex cognitive processes, neural
circuits have diverse functional roles. In the cerebral cortex, functional domains such as …

Brain maturation is a complex process that continues well beyond infancy, and adolescence
is thought to be a key period of brain rewiring. To assess structural brain maturation from …

In this article, the underlying theory of clinical diffusion MR imaging, including diffusion
tensor imaging (DTI) and fiber tractography, is reviewed. First, a brief explanation of the …

The corpus callosum is the largest commissural white matter pathway that connects the
hemispheres of the human brain. In this study, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was performed …

MRI is a sensitive method for detecting subtle anatomic abnormalities in the neonatal brain.
To optimize the usefulness for neonatal and pediatric care, systematic research, based on …

This second article of the 2-part review builds on the theoretic background provided by the
first article to cover the major technical factors that affect image quality in diffusion imaging …

We propose a new white matter atlas creation method that learns a model of the common
white matter structures present in a group of subjects. We demonstrate that our atlas creation …

Normal cognitive development in infants follows a well‐known temporal sequence, which is
assumed to be correlated with the structural maturation of underlying functional networks …
