Neuroimaging reveals how the human brain

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Neuroscience

Background:

  • The human brain exhibits dynamic structural and functional changes throughout life.
  • Neuroimaging advancements enable in vivo tracking of these developmental changes.
  • Understanding cognitive development is crucial for addressing neurological disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review neuroimaging literature on cognitive development.
  • To focus on task-dependent physiological and anatomical brain changes during childhood and adolescence.
  • To elucidate the neurobiological underpinnings of cognitive maturation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of neuroimaging studies focusing on cognitive development.
  • Analysis of in vivo human brain data across childhood and adolescence.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of structural and functional brain changes related to cognitive tasks.

    • Main Results:

    • Cortical function undergoes refinement during development.
    • Maturation proceeds from basic sensory/motor regions to higher-order association areas.
    • Developmentally, top-down control of behavior emerges later.

    Conclusions:

    • Brain development involves a sequential maturation of neural systems.
    • Neuroimaging provides critical insights into the trajectory of cognitive maturation.
    • This understanding aids in characterizing typical and atypical brain development.
