This is the first systematic study of Chinese children's brain development. Using optimized voxel-based morphometry, we investigated age-related changes in gray and white matter in Chinese children and adolescents aged 7 to 23 years. Results showed mostly linear reductions, but also some linear increases, in gray matter in many regions of the brain. Gray matter changes were more evident in the parietal and temporal regions than in the frontal and occipital regions. White matter showed significant linear increases in internal capsule, arcuate fasciculus, superior and inferior longitudinal fasciculus, and cingulate fasciculus.
这是对中国儿童大脑发育的首次系统性研究。我们采用优化的基于体素的形态测量学方法,调查了7至23岁中国儿童及青少年脑灰质和白质随年龄的变化。结果显示,大脑许多区域的灰质大多呈线性减少,但也有一些呈线性增加。灰质变化在顶叶和颞叶区域比额叶和枕叶区域更明显。白质在内囊、弓状束、上纵束、下纵束和扣带束中呈显著线性增加。
