Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) tractography is an advanced imaging
technique that enables in vivo reconstruction of the brain's white matter connections at …

Some brain regions have a central role in supporting integrated brain function, marking them
as network hubs. Given the functional importance of hubs, it is natural to ask how they …

This work introduces a compartment-based model for apparent cell body (namely soma) and
neurite density imaging (SANDI) using non-invasive diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI). The …

The third trimester of pregnancy represents a sensitive phase for infant brain plasticity when
a series of fast-develo** cellular events (synaptogenesis, neuronal migration, and …

In recent years, exploration of the develo** brain has become a major focus for
researchers and clinicians in an attempt to understand what allows children to acquire …

With a worldwide incidence of 15 million cases, preterm birth is a major contributor to
neonatal mortality and morbidity, and concomitant social and economic burden Preterm …

White matter connectivity supports diverse cognitive demands by efficiently constraining
dynamic brain activity. This efficiency can be inferred from network controllability, which …

This study presents the construction of a comprehensive spatiotemporal atlas of white matter
tracts in the fetal brain for every gestational week between 23 and 36 wk using diffusion MRI …

The formation of myelin, the fatty sheath that insulates nerve fibers, is critical for healthy
brain function. A fundamental open question is what impact being born has on myelin …

Protective strategies against perinatal brain injury represent a major challenge for modern
neonatology. Erythropoietin (Epo) enhances endogenous mechanisms of repair and …
