Researchers Unveil New Collection of Human Brain Atlases that Charts the Early Developing Brain in Fine Detail

January 31, 2023

Human brain atlases can be used by medical professionals to track normative trends over time and pinpoint crucial aspects of early brain development. With these atlases, they are able to see what typical structural and functional development looks like, making it easier for them to spot the symptoms of abnormal development, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder … Read more

A robust core architecture of functional brain networks supports topological resilience and cognitive performance in middle- and old-aged adults

October 27, 2022

Alerted connectivity in brain networks may turn them more sensitive to environmental insults and disease. In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) PhD student William Stanford, and BRIC member Eran Dayan investigated if brain resilience accounts for differences in cognitive function in healthy aging. This was achieved … Read more

Scientists Create New Map of the Developing Cerebral Cortex

August 22, 2022

UNC School of Medicine scientists led by Gang Li, PhD, have mapped the surface of the cortex of the young human brain with unprecedented resolution, revealing the development of key functional regions from two months before birth to two years after. The new cortical development mapping, reported online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of … Read more
