Individualized network topography in pre-adolescent children and adults using naturalistic precision fMRI

This study uses individualized network mapping in fMRI data from children and adults to show reduced network assignment confidence and weaker within-network connectivity in children, with individualized approaches improving sensitivity to age effects.

How much is 'enough'? Considerations for functional connectivity reliability in pediatric naturalistic fMRI

This study investigates FC reliability in pediatric fMRI, finding children need longer scan times than adults to achieve comparable reliability due to motion and spatially non-uniform effects.

Benchmarking common preprocessing strategies in early childhood functional connectivity MRI

This study benchmarks preprocessing strategies for FC-MRI in young children, finding that censoring and global signal regression improve noise removal and information retention.

Maturation and interhemispheric asymmetry in neurite density and orientation dispersion in early childhood

This study uses NODDI to examine age-related changes in neurite density and orientation dispersion in children's white matter, finding increases in density but no change in dispersion.
