Thalamocortical development in early life is crucial for normal brain functioning and abnormalities to these networks are thought to underpin atypical neurodevelopment. However, to date examination of this system in the infant has been hampered by the lack of age-appropriate population atlases. In this study we circumvent this problem by applying independent component analysis to parcellate the thalamocortical projections and their underlying thalamic seed in 6-months-old infants using diffusion MRI.
