Structural development and brain asymmetry in the fronto-limbic regions in preschool-aged children.

ABSTRACT: Early-life experiences play a crucial role in the development of the fronto-limbic regions, influencing both macro- and microstructural changes in the brain. These alterations profoundly impact cognitive, social-emotional functions. Recently, early limbic structural alterations have been associated with numerous neurological and psychiatric morbidities. Although identifying normative developmental trajectories is essential for determining brain alterations, only a few studies have focused on examining the normative trajectories in the fronto-limbic regions during preschool-aged children. The aim of this study was to investigate the structural-developmental trajectory of the fronto-limbic regions using the cortical thickness, volume, and subcortical volume in 57 healthy and typical preschoo
