We aimed to provide detailed descriptions of white matter pathways across the lifespan by thoroughly characterizing white matter microstructure , white matter macrostructure , and morphology of the cortex associated with white matter pathways. We analyzed 4 large, high-quality, publicly-available datasets comprising 2789 total imaging sessions, and participants ranging from 0 to 100 years old, using advanced tractography and diffusion modeling...
