Excited to share our work on infant brain development! Even though it seems like newborns sleep a lot, their brains are incredibly hard at work building brain tissue related to myelin and synapses in sensory-motor cortex in the first 6 months of life. socialsciences.nature.com/posts/how-does…

Excited to share our work on infant development at #Flux21. Come see my Flash talk (Flash talk #1) and poster (1-H-62) today to see how cortical microstructure develops in the first 6 months of human life.

Excited to share this awesome work led by Marisa Nordt where we find that the brain recycles areas to accommodate the growing cognitive demands of reading and face recognition in school-aged kids! @JesseGomezBrain @dfinz @KularHolly Alex Rezai @kalatwt nature.com/articles/s4156…

Excited to share my new work on how babies begin to sense their world and the immense tissue growth in cortex to support sensory functions. ⁦@Monaebear⁩ ⁦⁦⁦@kalatwt⁩ ⁦@mareikegrotheer⁩ ⁦@AvivMezer⁩ ⁦⁦⁦@KularHolly⁩ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

However, how cortex develops remains unknown. Using in vivo biomarkers of tissue microstructure, we find that infants’ sensory-motor...
