Morphometric characteristics of the brain in children aged one year (magnetic resonance tomography data).

The aim of the present work was to identify complex morphometric characteristics of the living brain in children aged one year with assessment of individual variation (sexual, interhemisphere) by magnetic resonance tomography. The results demonstrated sexual dimorphism in brain sizes: endbrain sizes were generally larger in boys, while structures in the stem part of the brain were larger in girls. Interhemisphere asymmetry of the brain was found in one-year-old children - in most cases, lobe sizes were greater in the right hemisphere as compared with the left.
