Their fetuses were accurately dated in the first trimester, with satisfactory growth and neurodevelopment from early pregnancy to 2 years of age 4, 5. We present a normative digital atlas of fetal brain maturation based on a prospective international cohort of healthy pregnant women 2, selected using World Health Organization recommendations for growth standards 3. Maturation of the human fetal brain should follow precisely scheduled structural growth and folding of the cerebral cortex for optimal postnatal function 1.
