Unveiling Infant Myelin Growth with Innovative Tools
Researchers have used new software to analyze MRI scans from 300 infants and discovered that myelin in white matter develops slower after birth. This finding provides insights into early-life brain development and the potential effects of premature birth. Abnormal myelin development is associated with various developmental and mental health disorders. Neuroinformatics allows researchers to explore large datasets and gain profound insights into brain health and development.
