The paper examines the relationship between white matter properties and reading skill development using longitudinal and cross-sectional data, finding that reading skill gains correspond to longitudinal white matter changes but not individual differences in white matter.

The paper finds that myelin growth slows after birth, particularly in preterm infants, and links this delay to long-term developmental consequences.

This study evaluates the reliability of dMRI-based tractometry by assessing reproducibility, test-retest reliability, and robustness using software and datasets from the Human Connectome Project and clinical-grade measurements.

The paper shows that maturation of optic radiations in childhood influences the speed and amplitude of visual cortex responses to high contrast stimuli.
