Growth trajectories of the human fetal brain tissues estimated from 3D reconstructed <i>in utero</i> MRI
17 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
In the latter half of gestation (20-40 gestational weeks), human brain growth accelerates in conjunction with cortical folding and the deceleration of ventricular zone progenitor cell proliferation. These processes are reflected in changes in the volume of respective fetal tissue zones. Thus far, growth trajectories of the fetal tissue zones have been extracted primarily from 2D measurements on histological...
