Longitudinal trajectories of brain development from infancy to school age and their relationship to literacy development

This study examines how longitudinal brain development trajectories from infancy to school age relate to literacy subskills, finding that brain features are linked to phonological processing and reading skills.

Longitudinal associations between language network characteristics in the infant brain and school-age reading abilities are mediated by early-developing phonological skills

The paper examines how infant brain language networks relate to school-age reading abilities through phonological skills development over seven years.

Examining the relationship between psychosocial adversity and inhibitory control: an fMRI study of children growing up in extreme poverty

This study examines how psychosocial adversity affects inhibitory control in children from low-resource environments using fMRI and behavioral data.

Brain Morphometry and Chronic Inflammation in Bangladeshi Children Growing up in Extreme Poverty

This study links chronic inflammation to brain morphometry in Bangladeshi children, showing inflammation mediates the effect of maternal education on putamen volume.

Longitudinal changes in brain activation underlying reading fluency

This study tracks changes in brain activation related to reading fluency over time and links increased ventral occipito-temporal cortex activity to improved reading skills.

Distinctive neural correlates of phonological processing and reading impairment in fetal alcohol-exposed adolescents with and without facial dysmorphology

This study identifies distinct neural correlates of phonological processing and reading impairment in adolescents with and without facial dysmorphology due to prenatal alcohol exposure.

Home literacy environment mediates the relationship between socioeconomic status and white matter structure in infants

Brain Morphometry and Diminished Physical Growth in Bangladeshi Children Growing up in Extreme Poverty: a Longitudinal Study

This study examines how diminished physical growth in poor Bangladeshi children affects brain morphometry and neurocognitive outcomes.

White matter in infancy is prospectively associated with language outcome in kindergarten

This study shows that infant white matter organization predicts kindergarten language abilities, specifically phonological awareness and vocabulary knowledge.

Infant functional connectivity fingerprints predict long-term language and pre-literacy outcomes

This study shows that infant functional connectivity patterns predict language and pre-literacy skills at age 6.5, independent of environmental factors and early language development.

Multifactorial pathways facilitate resilience among kindergarteners at risk for dyslexia: A longitudinal behavioral and neuroimaging study

The paper identifies factors predicting better reading outcomes in kindergarten children at risk for dyslexia, focusing on neural, cognitive-linguistic, and socioeconomic factors.

Putative protective neural mechanisms in pre-readers with a family history of dyslexia who subsequently develop typical reading skills

This study identifies distinct neural activation patterns in pre-readers with a family history of dyslexia who later develop typical reading skills, suggesting protective mechanisms may be present before reading onset.

Relating anthropometric indicators to brain structure in 2-month-old Bangladeshi infants growing up in poverty: a pilot study

This study examines the relationship between anthropometric indicators and brain structure in 2-month-old Bangladeshi infants, finding positive correlations between white matter volume and height/weight-for-age scores.
