The paper examines the postnatal development of putamen microstructure and white matter connectivity in autism, finding preserved organization with increased prefrontal connectivity.

The paper investigates myelin development in human visual cortex using qMRI and immunohistochemistry, finding distinct myelination and R1 trajectories across development.

The paper measures microstructural tissue growth in human visual cortex during the first year of life using MRI, finding hierarchical development patterns across visual processing streams.

This study shows that postnatal sulcal deepening in infant brains is nonuniform and depends on prenatal emergence timing, tissue microstructure, and macroanatomical factors.

The paper examines white matter connections in the ventral temporal cortex of infants and adults, finding they are organized by cytoarchitecture, eccentricity, and category-selectivity from birth.

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 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 uses MRI data to show that white matter myelination in infants follows spatial gradients and increases with age, as indicated by R1 values.

The paper shows that infant cortex undergoes microstructural growth linked to myelination, with visual areas developing hierarchically.

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

This study uses deep brain stimulation to show that stimulating the posterior cingulate cortex impairs episodic memory encoding and modulates hippocampal activity.

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.
