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”
Investigating white matter fibre density and morphology using fixel-based analysis (2017, background): “However, most white matter voxels contain contributions from multiple fibre populations (often referred to as crossing fibres), and therefore voxel-averaged quantitative measures (e.g. fractional anisotropy) are not fibre-specific and have poor interpretability.”
Childhood Adversity and Neural Development: A Systematic Review (2019, result): “…development of this circuit has generally not been observed in resting-state studies (in which higher rs-fc reflects more mature development) (Gabard-Durnam et al. 2014) or studies examining the structure of uncinate fasciculus (in which higher FA reflects greater maturity) (Lebel et al. 2012).”
The cingulum bundle: Anatomy, function, and dysfunction (2018, neutral): “Remarkably, the mean age to reach peak fractional anisotropy was found to be 42 years (Lebel et al., 2012), making the cingulum one of the last major tracts to mature by this measure.”
Effects of Prior Knowledge on Memory: Implications for Education. (2016, background): “Structurally, white matter tracts between the hippocampus and PFC (i.e., the uncinate fasciculus) mature more slowly than connections between the hippocampus and subcortical structures (i.e., the fornix; e.g., Lebel et al., 2012).”
Dissecting the uncinate fasciculus: disorders, controversies and a hypothesis. (2013, background): “…by guest on 30 July 2018 association tracts to mature, not reaching its developmental peak until the third decade of life (Lebel et al., 2008, 2012; Lebel and Beaulieu, 2011), which perhaps leaves it more susceptible to factors causing psychiatric illness during…”
Neuronal Activity Promotes Oligodendrogenesis and Adaptive Myelination in the Mammalian Brain (2014, background): “Development of the myelinated fiber infrastructure of the brain occurs throughout childhood and young adulthood and is classically thought to complete when the frontal lobes finish myelin formation in the fourth decade of human life (1, 2).”
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 have suggested that several white matter pathways have nonlinear growth patterns (Hermoye et al., 2006; Lebel et al., 2008, 2012; Mukherjee et al., 2001), which may be mirrored by nonlinear growth in various motor and cognitive abilities (Kail, 1993; Luna et al., 2004).”
Harmonization of multi-site diffusion tensor imaging data (2017, methodology): “Replicability is defined as the chance that an independent experiment will produce a similar set of results [Leek and Peng, 2015], and is a strong indication that a set of results is biologically meaningful.”
