Journal ArticleDOI

Trajectories of cortical thickness maturation in normal brain development--The importance of quality control procedures.

TL;DR: It is suggested that CTh follows a simple linear decline in most cortical areas by age 5, and all areas byage 8, which further supports the crucial importance of implementing post-processing QC in CTh studies of development, aging, and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anxious/Depressed Symptoms are Linked to Right Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortical Thickness Maturation in Healthy Children and Young Adults

TL;DR: The dynamic impact of age on relations between vmPFC and negative affect in the developing brain is demonstrated and potential neurobiological mechanisms underlying this maturation pattern are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age at symptom onset and death and disease duration in genetic frontotemporal dementia: an international retrospective cohort study.

Katrina M. Moore, +177 more
- 01 Feb 2020 - 
TL;DR: An international study of age at symptom onset, age at death, and disease duration in individuals with mutations in GRN, MAPT, and C9orf72 to investigate the extent to which variability in age at onset and at death could be accounted for by family membership and the specific mutation carried.
Journal ArticleDOI

Testosterone-Related Cortical Maturation Across Childhood and Adolescence

TL;DR: Findings show the association between testosterone and CTh to be complex, highly dynamic, and to vary, depending on sex and age; they also suggest sex-related hemispheric lateralization effects of testosterone in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cigarette smoking and thinning of the brain’s cortex

TL;DR: The data suggest that smoking is associated with diffuse accelerated cortical thinning, a biomarker of cognitive decline in adults, and partial recovery appears possible, although partial recovery seems possible, it can be a long process.
