Brain development in Chinese children and adolescents: a structural MRI study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This is the first systematic study of Chinese children's brain development. Using optimized voxel-based morphometry, we investigated age-related changes in gray and white matter in Chinese children and adolescents aged 7 to 23 years. Results showed mostly linear reductions, but also some linear increases, in gray matter in many regions of the brain. Gray matter changes were more evident in the parietal and temporal regions than in the frontal and occipital regions. White matter showed significant linear increases in internal capsule, arcuate fasciculus, superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus, and cingulate fasciculus.

BACKGROUND Neural development during human childhood and adolescence involves highly coordinated and sequenced events, characterized by both progressive and regressive processes. Despite a multitude of results demonstrating the age-dependent development of gray matter, white matter, and total brain volume, a reference curve allowing prediction of structural brain maturation is still lacking but...
