Synopsis

The first 1000 days are essential for a child’s development, consisting of critical time windows for brain and cognitive development but also vulnerability. In this large multi-cohort study, we investigated typical development of 478 children with ≤6 timepoints across two different scanners with different acquisition protocols. PACE brain-for-age growth percentiles and regression slope functions with 95% pointwise confidence intervals identified critical windows of neurocognitive development. Our results could allow for more appropriate neurodevelopmental burden estimates across multi-scanner cohorts, and help identify primary risk factors and age-specific intervention impact.
