The developing brain follows distinct trajectories that can be monitored and quantified using MRI. This session will highlight examples from both large-scale and small-scale studies that characterize typical brain development, from white matter maturation to cortical lamination and myelination, and will discuss approaches to detect deviations from normal developmental patterns. A range of MRI methodologies will be covered, spanning structural and functional imaging, including post-processing techniques such as volumetry as well as statistical modelling and advanced analytical frameworks.
