Sciencenews.org, Sept. 9 -- Researchers have created a growth curve for the brain, similar to the height and weight charts pediatricians use to monitor their patients' development.

"It's really remarkable how much information can be gleaned with just a five-minute resting-state scan," says neuroscientist Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in Bloomington. "The techniques they've developed here may be very powerful in making predictions for individual patients." Full story.
