Brains for All Ages: A Neurodevelopmental MRI Database for Neuroimaging Research John Richards, Ph.D. The study of neurostructural development or neurofunctional development has been hampered by the lack of age-appropriate MRI reference volumes. This talk will present information about a “Neurodevelopmental MRI Database” that has age-appropriate MRI templates that may be used for neuroimaging studies with infants, children, adolescents, adults, and in aging. The database includes 1) age-specific average MRI templates, 2) segmented partial volume estimates for segmenting priors, 3) a common stereotaxic atlas for infant, pediatric, and adult participants, and 4) tools for doing electrical source analysis (EEG, e.g., electrodes, head models) and for NIRS optode locations (e.g., scalp-to-cortex mapping).
