The paper examines the relationship between infant muscle tone and cerebellar morphology in adolescence, finding specific cerebellar volume associations but no mediation of autistic traits.

This study shows early cerebellar morphology drives neocortical maturation in a regionally specific manner across humans and mice.

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 develops voxelwise normative models of brain morphometry across the lifespan and applies them to study brain development after preterm birth and neurodegenerative disorders.

This study identifies a shared genetic factor underlying brain age gaps across 30 cohorts, finding 19 SNPs and associations with health traits.

This study examines inflammatory markers during pregnancy across four cohorts, finding that cytokines show high individual stability and genetic influence, while CRP is more influenced by BMI and polygenic factors.

This paper uses transfer learning from normative models to estimate cortical thickness trajectories in children across different scanners, showing it can detect pre-term morphological heterogeneity.

The paper develops population-wide cerebellar growth models using neuroimaging data, revealing an anterior-posterior growth gradient linked to cognitive and motor development.
