Reposted by Zaixu CuiAudrey Luo @audreycluo.bsky.social · 20/03/2025We think of white matter as the brain's highways—uniform conduits between cortices. But what if we study development along tracts? Turns out the journey matters as much as the cortical destination! We're thrilled to share “Two Axes of White Matter Development” www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/n 1012352
