Charting sex divergence in the human brain across the lifespan

This paper constructs sex-specific lifespan brain charts using neuroimaging data from 59,915 individuals, revealing dynamic sex differences in brain development and improving detection of neuropsychiatric abnormalities.

Population-specific brain charts reveal Chinese-Western differences in neurodevelopmental trajectories

The paper develops population-specific brain charts for Chinese individuals, revealing distinct neurodevelopmental patterns compared to Western populations and showing better performance in predicting brain phenotypes.

Functional connectome through the human life span

The paper analyzes functional and structural MRI data from 33,250 individuals to map lifespan changes in the functional connectome, identifying key developmental stages and differences in neurological disorders.

The overlapping modular organization of human brain functional networks across the adult lifespan

This study examines how age affects overlapping functional modular organization in the human brain using resting-state fMRI data from a healthy cohort, finding age-related decreases in overlapping modularity and increases in overlapping nodes.

A Hybrid Communication Pattern in Brain Structural Network Revealed by Evolutionary Computation

This study introduces a hybrid communication model for brain structural networks, showing it outperforms single-strategy models in predicting functional connectivity and reveals regional differences in routing preferences.

Gene Expression Associated with Individual Variability in Intrinsic Functional Connectivity

The paper investigates the relationship between gene expression and intersubject variability in intrinsic functional connectivity using fMRI and gene expression data.
