Delayed stabilization and individualization in connectome development are related to psychiatric disorders

Tobias Kaufmann et al. Nat Neurosci. 2017 Apr.

Abstract

The brain functional connectome constitutes a unique fingerprint allowing identification of individuals among a pool of people. Here we establish that the connectome develops into a more stable, individual wiring pattern during adolescence and demonstrate that a delay in this network tuning process is associated with reduced mental health in the formative years of late neurodevelopment.
