Cortical development is a rapid and dynamic process that has been shown been shown to be a predictive measure of cognitive development in adolescents. Longitudinal developmental trajectories of cortical thickness from 163 healthy, typically developing infants and children were characterized using non-linear mixed effects modeling and shown to exhibit both linear and non-linear behavior. In addition, differential cortical development based on early learning composite, a surrogate measure of IQ, was observed in three specific brain regions. Our results provide insight into the complexities behind cortical maturation and provide an important foundation for understanding typical cortical development.
