Reproducible Brain Charts: An open data resource for mapping brain development and its associations with mental health

The paper introduces Reproducible Brain Charts (RBC), an open data resource integrating brain development data from 6,346 youth, showing the benefits of harmonized phenotypes and reproducible processing for studying psychopathology.

Spontaneous reinstatement of episodic memories in the developing human brain

This study examines how episodic memories are stabilized in the developing human brain using fMRI and multivariate analyses, finding age-related changes in brain regions associated with memory.

Past and present caregiving experiencesimpact prefrontal connectivity and recall for attachment-schema narratives

The paper examines how past and current caregiving experiences affect prefrontal connectivity and recall of attachment-schema narratives in children.

Interpersonal early adversity demonstrates dissimilarity from early socioeconomic disadvantage in the course of human brain development: A meta-analysis

This study compares the effects of interpersonal early adversity and socioeconomic disadvantage on brain development using a large meta-analysis of 27,234 youth.

Developmental changes in story-evoked responses in the neocortex and hippocampus

This study examines how brain responses to narrative movies change with age using fMRI data from children and adolescents, finding age-related shifts in neocortical responses and decreased hippocampal responses to event boundaries.

Age-related change in task-evoked amygdala-prefrontal circuitry: a multiverse approach with an accelerated longitudinal cohort aged 4-22 years

This paper uses multiverse analyses on fMRI data from an accelerated longitudinal cohort to assess the robustness of age-related changes in amygdala-prefrontal circuitry to analytical choices.

Exploring valence bias as a metric for frontoamygdalar connectivity and depressive symptoms in childhood

The paper examines how valence bias relates to frontoamygdalar connectivity and depressive symptoms in children, finding that negative bias correlates with increased depressive symptoms and reduced connectivity in more advanced puberty.

Is it Time to Switch Your T1W Sequence? Assessing the Impact of Prospective Motion Correction on the Reliability and Quality of Structural Imaging

This study compares two MRI sequences, MPRAGE and MPRAGE+PMC, finding that MPRAGE+PMC offers higher intra-sequence reliability but lower quality control metrics compared to MPRAGE.

Adverse caregiving in infancy blunts neural processing of the mother: Translating across species

The paper shows that adverse caregiving in infancy reduces neural processing of the mother in rats, with potential implications for later-life pathology.

Music reveals medial prefrontal cortex sensitive period in childhood

The paper investigates whether childhood is a sensitive period for medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) encoding of regulatory stimuli, using music exposure and stress responses.

Emergence of Human Amygdala Functional Networks: 3 Months to 5 Years of Age

This study examines the development of amygdala functional networks in infants and young children using resting-state fMRI, finding that key networks are already present at 3 months and evolve with age.
