Longitudinal Development of Human Brain Wiring Continues from Childhood into Adulthood (2011, background): “…and adolescence (Mukherjee et al., 2001; Schmithorst et al., 2002; Barnea-Goraly et al., 2005; Ben Bashat et al., 2005; Ashtari et al., 2007; Bonekamp et al., 2007; Eluvathingal et al., 2007), and implying continued development beyond adolescence (Faria et al., 2010; Westlye et al., 2010).”
The Development of Brain White Matter Microstructure (2018, background): “While FA increases into the 20s or 30s and then decreases in middle- and later-adulthood (Hasan et al., 2009a, 2009b; Lebel et al., 2010; Lebel et al., 2012; Westlye et al., 2010; Yeatman et al., 2014), NDI continues to increase into the 60s, accompanied by increases in ODI that begin in young adult”
Partial volume effect as a hidden covariate in DTI analyses (2011, background): “Since bundle thickness is inherently an underlying factor, ROI-based (Mukherjee et al., 2001; Bonekamp et al., 2007), voxelbased (Madden et al., 2009; Westlye et al., 2009), and atlas-based analyses (Huang et al., 2006; Fjell et al., 2008) suffer from these confounds as well.”
Regional specificity of MRI contrast parameter changes in normal ageing revealed by voxel-based quantification (VBQ) (2011, methodology): “…methods like voxel-based and tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) of DTI parameters are then applied to capture characteristic WM changes (Barrick et al., 2010; Charlton et al., 2006; Giorgio et al., 2010a, 2010b; Kochunov et al., 2007; Mori et al., 2008; Westlye et al., 2010; Zhang et al., 2010).”
Neurodevelopment of the association cortices: Patterns, mechanisms, and implications for psychopathology (2021, neutral): “Global whitematter FA reaches a peak in the early thirties (Kochunov et al., 2012; Westlye et al., 2010); however, there are differences in maturational periods across white matter pathways.”
Structural Brain Changes in Aging: Courses, Causes and Cognitive Consequences (2010, result): “Effects 10 of 17 studies reviewed found that hippocampus shrank with age [24, 32, 39-46], five found no change [30, 47-50], one found reductions for men but not women [51], and one found reductions in right posterior but not anterior hippocampus [52].”
Diffusion tensor imaging of white matter tract evolution over the lifespan (2012, methodology): “Two studies reported radial (perpendicular) diffusivity curves demonstrating trajectories opposite to those of FA—decreasing diffusivity initially, followed by increases at older ages (Hasan et al., 2010; Westlye et al., 2009).”
