It is also of interest to compare infant brain growth patterns with those of a fetus. Fetal brains showed a higher volumetric growth in the frontal and temporal lobes with a major anterior-to-posterior directional stretch during 15–22 gestational weeks32. Greater volume increases in the parietal...
We next assessed whether the identified associations could be reflected in scores on neuropsychological tests assessing verbal comprehension, working memory, word retrieval, attention and arithmetic capabilities mainly connected to the frontal and temporal lobes. Neuropsychological test battery results from the...
The second slice was prescribed to be co-axial with the Sylvian fissure such that it contained the medial temporal lobe white matter bilaterally (Fig 2). 1H spectroscopic imaging (SI) data of the left and right medial temporal lobes were obtained in two sequential scans using the phase-...
During the first 6 months of life, active directional growths were observed (Figs 3, 4 and 5) and charac- terized by x-directional (left-to-right) stretch of the temporal lobes and interhemispheric fissure making posterior regions wider, y-directional stretch of frontal and occipital lobes...
