The human brain undergoes rapid changes from the fetal stage to two years postnatally, during which proper structural and functional maturation lays the foundation for later cognitive and behavioral development. Multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, especially structural MRI (sMRI), diffusion MRI (dMRI), functional MRI (fMRI), and perfusion MRI (pMRI), provide unprecedented opportunities to non-invasively quantify these early brain changes at whole brain and regional levels. Each modality offers unique insights into the complex processes of both typical neurodevelopment and the pathological mechanisms underlying psychiatric and neurological disorders.
