Digital brain atlases reveal postnatal development to 2 years of age in human infants
During the first two years of postnatal development, the human brain undergoes rapid, pronounced changes in size, shape and content. Using high-resolution MRI, we constructed month-to-month atlases of infants 2 weeks to 2 years old, capturing key spatiotemporal traits of early brain development in terms of cortical geometries and tissue properties.

Evaluation and statistical inference for human connectomes
LiFE is an algorithm that evaluates human connectome models derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and tractography methods. The algorithm achieves this goal by assessing the contribution of all the fiber tracts in a connectome to predict the measured MRI signal.

Deciphering laminar-specific neural inputs with line-scanning fMRI
A line-scanning method is applied to obtain onset times of fMRI responses in rats. The authors show that onset time of the fMRI response can be used to infer information about which cortical layers receive the connectivity input from other brain areas.
