Which neurodevelopmental processes continue in humans after birth?
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Once we are born, the number and location of nerve cells in most parts of the brain remain unchanged. These types of structural changes are therefore a significant form of flexibility for the neural circuits where they occur. In humans, the postnatal birth of neurons is limited; however, neurons do continue to migrate into some brain regions throughout infancy and even into adolescence. In human infants, multiple migratory pathways deliver interneurons to destinations across the frontal and temporal lobe cortex. Shorter-range migration of excitatory neurons also appears to continue during adolescence, particularly near the amygdala paralaminar nucleus, a region that follows a delayed trajectory of growth from infancy to adulthood. The significance of the timing for when different brain regions recruit new neurons through these methods is unknown; however, both processes of protracted migration and maturation are prominent in humans. Mechanisms like these that reconfigure neuronal circuits are a substrate for critical periods of plasticity and could contribute to distinctive circuit functionality in human brains.
