We use neuroimaging methods to study the development of structure and function in the human brain. www.perinatal-functional-imaging.co.uk

Very excited about this important piece of work with @angelicaronald.bsky.social characterising gene associations with age of walking onset. We also show using dHCP data that these are related to volume in key brain motor regions (like the deep grey nuclei and cerebellum) even as a newborn infant

Our gene discovery project on age at onset of walking is out today! Find the paper here www.nature.com/articles/s41... Huge thanks to the cohorts, collaborators & coauthors, in particular first author Dr Anna Gui 1/n

New work in @pnas.org led by Alexandra Bonthrone, exploring how the scaling laws relating cortical surface area, thickness and folding are affected in the infant brain by preterm birth (reduced folding) and congenital cardiac disease (reduced cortical growth) www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Theoretically derived scaling laws capture the nonlinear relationships between rapidly expanding brain volume and cortical gyrification across mamm...
