The paper shows two architectural gradients in human visual cortex that correlate with structural, functional, and behavioral traits across the lifespan.

This study uses functional MRI to show that low-frequency representation in auditory cortex increases over time, influencing tone detection thresholds in children and adults.

The paper identifies hidden cortical folds in human visual cortex that correlate with functional boundaries and behavioral differences.

The paper examines thalamic structural development in humans, finding that nuclei with delayed maturation are at higher risk for schizophrenia and show distinct neuroreceptor patterns linked to symptom severity.

This study maps the dorsal visual stream in adults and children, finding protracted development and hemispheric asymmetry in receptive field coverage and spatial attention.

The paper shows that sign language experience alters visual category representations in the brain, with distinct changes in deaf signers versus hearing signers who learned sign language later in life.

This study maps the spatial and molecular changes in neural progenitor cells in the human dentate gyrus from gestation to postnatal stages, showing a decline in neurogenic potential and transition to astrocytic features.

This paper shows that human ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) develops distinct category-selective representations that undergo prolonged, hemisphere-specific refinement, unlike ventral temporal cortex which shows early, stable organization.

The paper shows that a limb-selective region in visual cortex defies the eccentricity theory, revealing a parabolic topography shaped by visual experience and innate wiring.

This study investigates the cerebellum's role in cognitive aging using large datasets, finding that cerebellar volume is associated with better cognitive outcomes and protection against decline.

The paper shows that prefrontal cortex undergoes unique functional and structural development, with visual representations reorganizing into stable patterns and tissue pruning occurring during adolescence.

The paper tracks how distributed category representations in ventral temporal cortex develop over time and links these changes to individual differences in word and face recognition.

The paper investigates structural covariation between cerebellum, thalamus, and cerebral cortex in neurotypical and ASD children, finding altered coupling patterns in ASD.

The paper compares retinotopic maps in children and adults, finding that children have similar V1 surface area for upper and lower vertical meridians, while adults show asymmetry, indicating a late-stage developmental change.

The paper finds that in childhood, white matter connections better predict cytoarchitecture than category-selectivity in VTC, but this relationship holds for both in adulthood.

The paper shows that during childhood, face- and word-selective regions in the ventral temporal cortex expand while limb-selective regions shrink, indicating cortical recycling of function.

The paper shows that spatial computations in ventral and lateral face-selective brain regions differ, with ventral regions focused on the fovea and lateral regions extending peripherally, linked to distinct white matter connections.

The paper examines the relationship between sulcal depth and place-selectivity in medial ventral temporal cortex across species and age groups, finding stronger coupling in adults.

The paper shows opposing transcriptomic gradients explain orthogonal maps in human visual areas and predicts microanatomical differences and genetic susceptibility.

The paper investigates microstructural changes in the visual cortex during childhood and finds that apparent thinning is due to increased myelination rather than pruning.

The paper identifies two opposing genetic gradients in the human visual cortex that correlate with developmental and evolutionary features, linking cytoarchitecture and gene expression.

The paper shows that childhood experience with Pokémon influences the adult visual cortex organization, with retinal eccentricity during childhood predicting adult responses to Pokémon.

This study shows that reading proficiency develops with increased informativeness of distributed left lateral ventral temporal cortex responses to words and characters.

The paper investigates how receptive fields develop in human visual cortex, finding that face- and word-selective regions undergo changes into adulthood, while early visual areas are adult-like by age 5.
