Motion corrected MRI differentiates male and female human brain growth trajectories from mid-gestation

The human fetal brain may exhibit early sex differences. Here, the authors present MRI based analysis female and male brain growth. Cortical development follows very similar trajectories at larger scales, while differing in focal regions. White matter growth differs at both large and small scales.
