In the absence of a neonatal template with cortical subregion labels, it can be extremely difficult to obtain cortical parcellation of new neonatal brain images automatically. We address this problem by utilizing adult templates with rich cortical annotation and … Continue reading
This research seeks to understand the relations among socioeconomic status (SES), early life experience, and learning in adolescents. Previous research has shown that learning ability is positively correlated with SES, and preliminary studies suggest that the effects of childhood experience … Continue reading
The International Consortium on CHD Neonatal Brain MRI was established to coordinate efforts to tackle this problem of MR data normalization and provide an open common platform with tools for processing and analyzing CHD brain imaging data in preoperative neonates. … Continue reading
Children growing up in poverty are at increased risk for poor cognitive outcomes, arguably one of the most critical issues facing our nation today. While many studies have shown that effects of poverty are apparent by age two years, far … Continue reading
