Mapping Brain Development
Source: La Recherche 2005 Jul;:42-47.
Author: Toga AW, Thompson PM, Sowell ER.
Abstract:
MRI scans provide exceptionally detailed information on how the human brain changes throughout life, from childhood, adolescence, and into old age. We describe several approaches for understanding developmental changes in brain structures based on MRI. These methods reveal unsuspected links between development and cognition, and can help discover genetic and environmental factors that affect development. These brain maps also chart the anatomical sequence of healthy brain maturation and visualize how it is derailed in neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, autism, fetal alcohol syndrome, and Williams syndrome.
