Life-span changes of the human brain white matter: diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and volumetry. (2010, background): “…(Giedd et al. 1999; Klingberg et al. 1999; Paus et al. 1999; Bartzokis et al. 2001; Ashtari et al. 2007; Lenroot et al. 2007; Giorgio et al. 2008; Lebel et al. 2008; Paus et al. 2008; Giorgio et al. 2010; Østby et al. 2009; Tamnes et al. forthcoming), an accurate description of age-related…”
The Development of Brain White Matter Microstructure (2018, methodology): “Some studies test for absolute differences and find none (Bava et al., 2010; Eluvathingal et al., 2007; Giorgio et al., 2008; Lebel et al., 2008; Mah et al., 2017; Muetzel et al., 2008), while others report sex differences in diffusion parameters FA, MD, and NDI that are inconsistent across samples ”
Development of the social brain during adolescence (2015, background): “…an area of the cortex which is linked to both the MPFC and limbic structures via the uncinate fasciculus, one of the last white matter tracts to reach maturity (Lebel et al., 2008), and suggest that perhaps the late myelination of the ATC projections allow a long window for learning social scripts.”
Is adolescence a sensitive period for sociocultural processing? (2014, background): “White matter generally increases in volume and integrity across adolescence and into young adulthood (Lebel et al. 2008, Lenroot et al. 2007).”
DTI measures in crossing-fibre areas: Increased diffusion anisotropy reveals early white matter alteration in MCI and mild Alzheimer's disease (2011, background): “First, reduced FA is generally interpreted to reflect a decrease in the organisation of the white matter caused by various microstructural processes such as demyelination, axonal degradation or gliosis (Beaulieu, 2002; Concha et al., 2006; Lebel et al., 2008; Assaf, 2008).”
The Basics of Brain Development (2010, background): “Lebel et al. (2008, Lebel and Beaulieu 2009 ) reported diffusion imaging results in a large group of typically developing children and young adults.”
White matter maturation reshapes structural connectivity in the late developing human brain (2010, background): “S1), a result that was also suggested elsewere (39).”
Longitudinal Development of Human Brain Wiring Continues from Childhood into Adulthood (2011, methodology): “Many of these subjects (94) were included in a previous cross-sectional study of brain development from age 5 to 30 years (Lebel et al., 2008a) and were subsequently scanned several years later.”
Brain maturation in adolescence and young adulthood: regional age-related changes in cortical thickness and white matter volume and microstructure. (2010, methodology): “decrease in WM continuing into adolescence and even early adulthood (Cascio et al. 2007; Lebel et al. 2008).”
Tract Profiles of White Matter Properties: Automating Fiber-Tract Quantification (2012, background): “It is known that the rate of maturation varies between tracts [20]; however, it is not known if all locations within a tract change at comparable rates.”
Developmental Stages and Sex Differences of White Matter and Behavioral Development through Adolescence: A Longitudinal Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) Study (2013, neutral): “Cross-sectional studies using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), which provide in vivomeasurements of WM integrity, generally find that the development ofWMextends over childhood and adolescence, particularly in fronto-temporal and limbic connections, such as the uncinate fasciculus, superior longitudi”
Assessing the effects of age on long white matter tracts using diffusion tensor tractography (2009, background): “These results compliment recent DTI studies of infants (Gao et al., 2008) and young adults (Lebel et al., 2008) that demonstrate that many of the same frontal fiber systems (e.g., UF, CB) mature later in development than more posterior fiber systems (e.g., ILF).”
Longitudinal changes in grey and white matter during adolescence (2010, neutral): “However, findings in previous developmental studies have been inconsistent, with varying patterns of diffusivity changes explaining age-related FA increases in the white matter (Ashtari et al., 2007; Bonekamp et al., 2006; Eluvathingal et al., 2007; Giorgio et al., 2008; Lebel et al., 2008).”
