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.

This paper introduces multi-echo acquisition and thermal denoising methods to improve precision functional MRI in adults, children, and newborns, showing increased signal-to-noise ratio and reliability.

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

The paper reveals that motor cortex contains inter-effector regions connected to the Cingulo-opercular network, alternating with effector-specific areas, suggesting a dual system for motor control and whole-body coordination.
