Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a widely used method to investigate the microstructure of the brain. Quality control (QC) of dMRI data is an important processing step that is performed prior to analysis using models such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) or neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI).

Adversity during infancy can affect neurobehavioral development and perturb the maturation of physiological systems. Dysregulated immune and inflammatory responses contribute to many of the later effects on health.

Earlier beta-amyloid (Aβ) plaque accumulation and a higher prevalence of Alzheimer’s Disease is seen in the Down syndrome (DS) population due to the triplication of chromosome 21 containing the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene.
