How does the human brain coordinate hierarchical cortical development? Our work in Nature Neuroscience identifies a role for thalamocortical structural connectivity in the expression of hierarchical periods of cortical plasticity & environmental receptivity in youth 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

@nicolenelson.bsky.social would love to be added to your starter pack!

After searching through bluesky, I realized there wasnt a starter pack for Adolescent Neurocognitive Development (at least I couldnt find one), so decided to start one! Please help me in adding members of the awesome community

Cortical maturation unfolds hierarchically, endowing the PFC with extended plasticity. But do timeframes of plasticity vary across PFC layers?

With 7T quantitative myelin imaging, EEG, and cognitive data, we uncover heterochronous laminar maturation in the PFC 1/n. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
