The paper associates left-handedness with structural brain asymmetries in specific cortical regions using data from 31,864 individuals and identifies genetic links to these asymmetries.

This study examines regional changes in white matter volume and microstructure in young adults using MRI data from 1,713 university students, revealing age-related variations in microstructural properties.

The paper introduces the MRi-Share database, a multi-modal brain MRI dataset of 1,870 young adults, and presents preliminary findings on age and sex associations with brain phenotypes.

The paper analyzes brain asymmetry in three population datasets, finding associations with handedness, cognitive functions, and a genetic correlation with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The paper introduces a new cortical maturation index (MATUR) based on the ratio of cortical thickness and intracortical myelination, showing it better captures age-related structural changes in adulthood than either measure alone.

The paper investigates genetic factors influencing planum temporale asymmetry and finds limited genetic links to neurodevelopmental disorders, intelligence, or educational attainment.

SPANOL uses spectral clustering on cortical surfaces to parcellate brains into lobes, showing agreement with existing atlases and promising results on fetal brains.
