Across 15 cohorts (birth to 24 years), 20 epigenetic clocks and eight brain age models predicted chronological age modestly, stabilizing by middle childhood; their age residuals were weakly associated.

This paper uses neonatal brain MRI to quantify dental maturity and links it to prenatal factors and tooth eruption timing.

This study examines how prenatal factors affect hypothalamus volume in newborns using MRI data, finding associations with gestational age, postmenstrual age, sex, and maternal smoking.

The paper defines a histology-informed MRI mask for the human paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus, showing spatial overlap with existing masks but with additional posterior voxels and consistent functional connectivity patterns.

This study examines how early-life unpredictability affects hippocampal and amygdala responses to novelty in adolescents, finding sex-specific differences in brain activation and functional connectivity.

This study finds a positive association between maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and infant left caudate nucleus mean diffusivity, suggesting in utero exposure to maternal adiposity may impact brain development.

The paper examines age-related changes in basal ganglia iron levels in neonates using rsfMRI data, finding postnatal age associations in specific subregions and preterm birth effects.

The paper measures striatal iron deposition in neonates using MRI and finds age-related changes in specific subregions but not others.
