AbstractThe brain functional connectome development is fundamental to neurocognitive growth in youth. While brain age prediction has been widely used to assess connectome development at the individual level, traditional approaches providing a global index overlook the spatial variability and inter-individual heterogeneity of functional connectivity (FC) development across the cortex. In this study, we introduced a regional brain development index to assess spatially fine-grained FC development.

AbstractTask functional magnetic resonance imaging research has generally shielded away from studying individuals due to the low reproducibility. Here, we propose that heterogeneous brain activations across individuals localize to a common network. To test this hypothesis, we use working memory (WM) as our example. First, we showed that discrete-brain-based reproducibility of brain activation during WM across individuals was low.

AbstractAlthough self-injurious thoughts and behaviours (SITB) among children pose an imminent public health concern, the comprehensive understanding of SITB transitions remains unclear. Here we used the longitudinal data of 7,270 children from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive DevelopmentSM Study (ABCD Study).
