Abstract

How is the structure and function of the human brain formed and developed during the period of rapid human brain development in fetuses and infants? How do genetics and environment affect brain development during this period? How can we achieve accurate diagnosis of fetal brain developmental diseases besides the routine ultrasound examination? This salon will first introduce the developing Human brain connectome project, and then explore the visualization of fetal and infant brain dynamic development processes using magnetic resonance imaging, as well as the precise visualization of fetal brain diseases using magnetic resonance imaging.
