Advances in diffusion magnetic resonance (dMR) technology allow for white matter development and injury to be studied safely in critically ill newborns. In particular, voxel-based morphometry, tractography, and connectome mapping, can be used to quantify brain microstructure, connectivity and network properties. Using state-of-the-art dMR analysis techniques, we study brain connectivity development and injury in vulnerable populations of newborns.

Our work in brain connectivity development can be found in these publications.
