The paper describes the release of a large fetal fMRI dataset and presents methods for its preprocessing and analysis to study in utero brain connectivity.

This paper conducts a genome-wide association meta-analysis of age at onset of walking, identifying 11 loci and showing genetic correlations with ADHD, BMI, intelligence, and brain structure.

The paper examines microstructural changes in fetal brain compartments before cortical folding begins, finding that anisotropy decreases in subplate and cortical plate regions prior to sulcal pit formation.

The paper shows that functional connectivity gradients in resting state networks are present in the human fetal brain from 25 weeks gestation, with spatial consistency increasing in primary sensory and motor networks.

This study uses diffusion MRI to track thalamocortical pathway maturation in human fetal brains, identifying key neurobiological changes in the second to third trimester.
