Advances in neuroimaging have ushered in a new era of developmental neuroscience.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is particularly well suited for pediatric studies because it …

Understanding how brain development normally proceeds is a premise of understanding
neurodevelopmental disorders. This has sparked a wealth of magnetic resonance imaging …

Several properties of the human brain cortex, eg, cortical thickness and gyrification, have
been found to correlate with the progress of neuropsychiatric disorders. The relationship …

Human brain maturation is a complex, lifelong process that can now be examined in detail
using neuroimaging techniques. Ongoing projects scan subjects longitudinally with …

Findings from previous magnetic resonance imaging studies of sex differences in gray
matter have been inconsistent, with some showing proportionally increased gray matter in …

Human cerebral development is remarkably protracted. Although microstructural processes
of neuronal maturation remain accessible only to morphometric post-mortem studies …

Recent studies with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have scanned large numbers
of children and adolescents repeatedly over time, as their brains develop, tracking …

OBJECTIVE: To highlight emerging evidence for clinical and biological links between
autism/pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) and schizophrenia, with particular attention …
