In 84 children, the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) was smaller in dyslexia, but its cortical position, between-child spread and white matter tract overlap were unrelated to reading skill.

The paper shows that functional connectivity patterns in reading circuitry precede and predict the emergence of the visual word form area in children with dyslexia after reading intervention.

This paper develops brain-age models using diffusion MRI data from full- and preterm infants, showing accurate age prediction but limited sensitivity to clinical complications.

The paper presents a curated dataset of processed diffusion MRI data from the ABCD Study, showing that specific diffusion metrics are sensitive to adolescent white matter development and robust to image quality variation.

The paper examines the relationship between the left posterior occipital temporal sulcus (lhpOTS) and reading skills in children with and without dyslexia, finding that lhpOTS patterns do not predict dyslexia or intervention response.

The paper identifies task-agnostic consistency in the location of the Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) across individuals but highlights inter-individual variability in its size and anatomical position.

This study identifies two axes of white matter development in human cortico-cortical tracts using diffusion MRI across three datasets, revealing non-uniform maturation patterns.

This study examines changes in the Visual Word Form Area in dyslexic and typical readers over time, finding persistent abnormalities despite reading intervention.

The paper identifies three text-selective regions in the inferior frontal cortex linked to reading proficiency in children using fMRI.

This study examines the effects of two-week reading training on preschoolers' letter knowledge, decoding skills, and white matter structure, finding skill improvements without significant white matter changes.

This paper evaluates the reliability and validity of Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) for measuring white matter T1 values in children, finding improved reliability with longer scan duration but not B0 correction.

The study links longitudinal changes in the left arcuate fasciculus's white matter to reading development gains, but not math, using diffusion MRI and academic scores.

This study shows that reading instruction in preschool children changes category-selective visual cortex responses without reducing responses to other stimuli.

The paper examines how educational opportunity affects white matter development in adolescents, finding it correlates with accelerated development in academic-related tracts after controlling for socioeconomic factors.

The paper investigates functional connectivity patterns of two subregions of the visual word form area (VWFA) and finds distinct connectivity profiles between VWFA-1 and VWFA-2, with no correlation to reading ability.

The paper examines the relationship between white matter properties and reading skill development using longitudinal and cross-sectional data, finding that reading skill gains correspond to longitudinal white matter changes but not individual differences in white matter.

This study links developmental changes in alpha rhythm to visual white matter maturation and visual detection performance using dMRI-EEG data.

The study examines age-related changes in white matter properties of optic radiations carrying foveal, macular, and peripheral visual field information using diffusion MRI data from the UK Biobank.

This study shows that the visual word form area (VWFA) shows task-specific response and connectivity changes during word recognition, distinct from general attention effects.

The paper finds that myelin growth slows after birth, particularly in preterm infants, and links this delay to long-term developmental consequences.

This study evaluates deep learning improvements for brain-age modeling using diffusion MRI data in children and adolescents, finding small but notable gains with recurrent neural networks.

This study uses diffusion MRI and a CNN to show glaucoma has a unique non-linear effect on optic radiation tissue properties, unlike linear effects on other brain connections.

The paper curates and provides analysis-ready diffusion MRI data for pediatric brain white-matter research, including automated quality control using a trained neural network.

This study evaluates the reliability of dMRI-based tractometry by assessing reproducibility, test-retest reliability, and robustness using software and datasets from the Human Connectome Project and clinical-grade measurements.

The paper shows that maturation of optic radiations in childhood influences the speed and amplitude of visual cortex responses to high contrast stimuli.

The paper examines changes in white matter properties during reading instruction using diffusion MRI and T1 relaxation measurements, finding that diffusion changes may not reflect myelin density changes.

This paper implements Diffusional Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) in the DIPY project, demonstrating its utility for microstructural analysis and tractography in brain imaging.

This paper introduces a sparse group lasso method to analyze diffusion MRI data, identifying informative white matter features for ALS classification and brain age prediction.

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.

This study investigates whether automatic activation of spoken-language circuits is a hallmark of skilled reading, finding that word-selective responses correlate with reading skill.
