We report the dynamic anatomical sequence of human cortical gray matter development
between the age of 4–21 years using quantitative four-dimensional maps and time-lapse …

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

Schizophrenia is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder whose genetic influences remain
elusive. We hypothesize that individually rare structural variants contribute to the illness. …

… been found previously for the hippocampus (Gogtay et al., 2006). We were unable to measure
the hippocampus directly in the present study, but Gogtay and colleagues found that the …

Human total brain size is consistently reported to be ∼8–10% larger in males, although
consensus on regionally specific differences is weak. Here, in the largest longitudinal pediatric …

Understanding human cortical maturation is a central goal for developmental neuroscience.
Significant advances toward this goal have come from two recent strands of in vivo structural …

Modularity is a fundamental concept in systems neuroscience, referring to the formation of
local cliques or modules of densely intra-connected nodes that are sparsely inter-connected …

The hippocampus, which plays an important role in memory functions and emotional responses,
has distinct subregions subserving different functions. Because the volume and shape …

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

This paper describes algorithms that can identify patterns of brain structure and function
associated with Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, normal aging, and abnormal brain …
