This study identifies consistent clinical and neural correlates of sensory over-responsivity (SOR) across diverse child samples, showing associations with autistic traits, anxiety, and specific brain connectivity patterns.

The paper examines how prenatal social disadvantage and psychosocial stress affect DNA methylation in children and their potential role in psychopathology.

The paper develops an age-appropriate functional reference to estimate individualized brain networks in young children, revealing early network organization and stability.

The paper uses resting-state fMRI to study subcortical network organization in neonates, children, and adults, finding that the anterior-posterior organization is present at birth but somatomotor network representations are larger in neonates.

The paper links socioeconomic status (SES) to brain-wide associations, showing SES has stronger associations with brain structure and function than IQ or psychopathology.

This study parcellates the cerebral cortex in toddlers using functional connectivity and shows high reproducibility across ages, with area boundaries more similar to adults than neonates.

The paper examines how prenatal socioeconomic status influences cortical network development from birth to three years, finding accelerated segregation in lower-SES groups and links to language abilities.

The paper examines how prenatal social disadvantage affects cognitive and language abilities at age 2, showing that parenting behaviors mediate these effects only in families with lower levels of disadvantage.

This paper develops a neonatal-specific cortical parcellation based on functional connectivity, validated across multiple datasets.

The paper uses NMF on MRI data to identify white matter maturation patterns in newborns, showing distinct microstructural and histological features.
