Abstract

Understanding human white matter development is vital to characterize typical brain organization and developmental neurocognitive disorders. In this issue of Neuron, Nazeri and colleagues¹ identify different parts of white matter in the neonatal brain and show their maturational trajectories in line with microstructural feature development.
