Typical sex differences in white matter (WM) microstructure during development are incompletely understood. Here we evaluated sex differences in WM microstructure during typical brain development using a sample of neurotypical individuals across a wide developmental age (N=239, aged 5-22 years). We used the conventional diffusion-weighted MRI (dMRI) model, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and two advanced dMRI models, the tensor distribution function (TDF) and neurite orientation dispersion density imaging (NODDI) to assess WM microstructure. WM microstructure exhibited significant, regionally consistent sex differences across the brain during typical development. Additionally, the TDF model was most sensitive in detecting sex differences. These findings highlight the importance of considering sex in neurodevelopmental research and underscore the value of the advanced TDF model.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
