The Structural basis of developmental plasticity in the human brain

Our objective was to review the spatial and temporal factors which determine structural plasticity of the developing fiber pathways in the human fetal and preterm brain. The growing fibers display remarkable structural plasticity (detouring, rerouting, sprouting) and the developmental peak of this plasticity is around 34 postconceptional week (PCW), i.e. during the existence of the most prominent transient zone, the subplate (SP). The presented spatial and temporal parameters of structural plasticity of growing pathways can be studied using neuroimaging methods and applied in planing of the treatment of perinatal brain injury in children.
