Feature similarity gradients detect alterations in the neonatal cortex associated with preterm birth

This study uses the Vogt-Bailey index to analyze cortical microstructure gradients in preterm and term infants, finding spatially distributed alterations in preterm infants.

BOUNTI: Brain vOlumetry and aUtomated parcellatioN for 3D feTal MRI

The paper introduces a deep learning pipeline for automated fetal brain segmentation and volumetry, showing reduced need for manual refinement and agreement with manual segmentations in clinical cases.

Structural and functional asymmetry of the neonatal cerebral cortex

The paper investigates structural and functional asymmetry in the neonatal cerebral cortex using MRI data from term and preterm neonates and adults.

Neonatal multi-modal cortical profiles predict 18-month developmental outcomes

The paper uses neonatal cortical connectivity data to predict 18-month developmental outcomes, finding that structural covariance networks predict social-emotional performance.

Preterm birth alters the development of cortical microstructure and morphology at term-equivalent age

This study examines how preterm birth affects cortical development in infants at term-equivalent age using MRI, finding altered microstructure and morphology with individual variability.

Phenotyping the preterm brain: characterising individual deviations from normative volumetric development in two large infant cohorts

The paper develops normative brain volumetric development curves for term-born infants and compares preterm infants to these curves, identifying individual deviations linked to clinical factors and neurocognitive outcomes.

Cortical morphology at birth reflects spatio-temporal patterns of gene expression in the fetal human brain

The paper links cortical morphology at birth to gene expression patterns in the fetal brain and shows preterm birth disrupts this relationship.

The developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP) automated resting-state functional processing framework for newborn infants.

This paper introduces an automated pipeline for processing neonatal resting-state fMRI data, improving motion correction and quality assurance in the developing Human Connectome Project.

Development of Microstructural and Morphological Cortical Profiles in the Neonatal Brain

The paper develops cortical profiles in neonatal brains using MRI to track morphometric and microstructural changes, revealing how network similarity evolves over time.

Abnormal microstructural development of the cerebral cortex in neonates with congenital heart disease is associated with impaired cerebral oxygen delivery

The paper investigates microstructural cortex development in neonates with congenital heart disease and finds impaired oxygen delivery correlates with abnormal microstructure.

The Developing Human Connectome Project: a Minimal Processing Pipeline for Neonatal Cortical Surface Reconstruction

The paper introduces a fully automated pipeline for neonatal cortical surface reconstruction from MRI, achieving high accuracy in 85% of cases.

Unbiased construction of a temporally consistent morphological atlas of neonatal brain development

A linearly scaling groupwise method jointly estimates mean brain shape and longitudinal change across 275 neonates (35 to 44 weeks post-menstrual age), yielding a temporally consistent morphological atlas.

Multimodal Surface Matching with Higher-Order Smoothness Constraints

This paper introduces a new regularization method for cortical surface alignment in brain imaging, improving the robustness and biological interpretability of multi-modal data alignment.
