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

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 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.
