Age‐Related Changes in the Amygdala From In Utero to Early Childhood: Association With Social and Cognitive Outcomes Open
The amygdala is a key element of the limbic system. It is involved in emotional processing controlling responses to social, affective, or motivational stimuli, facilitating interaction with the surrounding environment. Given its importance…

Default mode network functional connectivity strength in utero and the association with fetal subcortical development Open
The default mode network is essential for higher-order cognitive processes and is composed of an extensive network of functional and structural connections. Early in fetal life, the default mode network shows strong connectivity with other…

Amygdala subnuclei volumes, functional connectivity, and social–emotional outcomes in children born very preterm Open
Children born very preterm can demonstrate social-cognitive impairments, which may result from limbic system dysfunction. Altered development of the subnuclei of the amygdala, stress-sensitive regions involved in emotional processing, may …

Semi-automatic segmentation of the fetal brain from Magnetic Resonance Imaging Open
Template-based segmentation techniques have been used for targeting deep brain structures in fetal MR images. In this study, two registration algorithms were compared to determine the optimal strategy of segmenting subcortical structures i…
