Longitudinal regression analysis of spatial-temporal growth patterns of geometrical diffusion measures in early postnatal brain development with diffusion tensor imaging

►Longitudinal DTI data acquisition. ►Longitudinal regression analysis for early brain developmental study with DTI. ►Spatio-temporal growth patterns of Cl and Cp in early brain development. ►Cl and Cp have different spatial distribution patterns. ►White matter structures may affect the growth patterns of Cl and Cp.
