The process of brain development in children and adolescents involves a series of complex, dynamic, and adaptive processes that drive the differentiation and maturation of neural system structures and functions. Changes in brain structures include an increase in white matter volume and integrity in various brain regions, accompanied by a decrease in gray matter volume. These structural changes often coincide with alterations in cognitive functions, such as improved intelligence, working memory, problem-solving abilities, and enhanced social cognition. However, the high plasticity of brain structure and function during childhood and adolescence not only facilitates the refinement of brain function but also introduces vulnerabilities to developmental disruptions. Investigating the developing brain is crucial to enhance our understanding of normal developmental processes and allow for targeted early interventions in cases of developmental imbalances. Brain atlas, as an important tool for studying brain structure, brain function and brain diseases, is a powerful tool for researchers to analyze the brain and plays an indispensable role in brain development research. Brain atlases consist of one or multiple brain images with different types of delineated boundaries. Generally, these boundaries are partitioned based on existing knowledge of brain anatomy, pathology, or functional characteristics. Their fundamental value lies in providing a priori knowledge [1] about brain anatomy and function. The continuous maturation of brain structure and various cognitive functions during the development stages of children and adolescents leads to differences in the regionalization patterns between children and adults. During early life, some subregions that are clearly delineated in the adult brain remain undifferentiated in the brains of children, awaiting developmental cues from external stimuli to gradually form more distinct boundaries. Clearly, using atlases derived from adults is inappropriate in studies involving children. Inappropriate brain atlases may introduce certain errors in research involving children and adolescents, especially in regions of the brain, such as the frontal lobes, where significant differences exist between children and adults. Building developmental brain atlases for children and adolescents is potentially more challenging compared to adult brain atlases. Advanced techniques may be required for constructing images of the developing brain, addressing issues such as higher susceptibility to motion artifacts and lower contrast in scan images. Furthermore, obtaining data from children typically involves additional ethical considerations and requires consent from parents or guardians. These factors collectively pose challenges to the construction of developmental children brain atlases. It is gratifying to note that in recent years, with the continuous improvement of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology and the growing global attention to the physical and mental health development of children and adolescents, an increasing number of developmental studies have emerged. Among these studies, there have been attempts to build developmental atlases for children and adolescents. These studies provide valuable information for educational interventions in children and adolescents, guiding their transition from impulsive and risk-taking psychological states to more mature adulthood. This review focuses on developmental brain atlases and offers an overview of research progress related to child and adolescent brain development and brain atlases from three key perspectives. Firstly, it introduces the transitions in brain characteristics during childhood and adolescence, emphasizing the importance of promoting brain-healthy development during these crucial developmental stages. Secondly, unlike in adults, pediatric brain scan images typically exhibit lower contrast and increased head motion, necessitating additional technical measures to address the additional noise generated during scans. Summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of current developmental atlases methods, including specialized data preprocessing steps, will promote the development of more data processing tools tailored to research on children and adolescents. Lastly, by segmenting the brain into regions and creating atlases that represent these divisions, researchers can identify and monitor variations in brain development, both in typical and atypical cases. This not only aids in understanding the natural course of brain development but also helps in identifying and addressing potential developmental issues. Meanwhile, the brain"s structural and functional modules undergo processes of integration or differentiation during the developmental process. If the same regional divisions are applied to statistically analyze various feature indices, inaccuracies in localization may lead to deviations between statistical results and actual results. This review describes the progress in research on pediatric and adolescent templates and brain atlases, analyzing the contributions and limitations of these studies in understanding pediatric and adolescent development. The segmentation of different regions within the spatial landscape of the brain forms the foundation for decoding the human brain, and the brain atlases derived from these region divisions serve as powerful tools for researchers to analyze the brain. In recent years, with the advancement of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology, researchers have been able to observe and explore characteristics of the human brain, such as sulci and gyri, and networks at different developmental stages more effectively. Focusing on developmental brain atlases, conducting research on the developing brain is crucial for enhancing our understanding of normal developmental processes and facilitating targeted early interventions for developmental imbalances. Brain atlases provide researchers with the ability to investigate how the human brain undergoes significant structural and functional changes during different stages of life. Research on developing brains contributes to a better understanding of the normal developmental process, enabling targeted early interventions for imbalances in development. Summarizing the advantages and disadvantages of existing technological methods encourages researchers in related fields to develop more data processing tools tailored to the study of children and adolescents. This review of finely segmented brain development atlases based on specific age groups provides a powerful reference for future developmental research. Grounded in developmental brain atlases, this review deepens the understanding of brain development and promotes interdisciplinary research by reviewing the general features of development at the child and adolescent stages, the main ways to explore the features, and the developmental mapping as an essential tool for brain developmental research, informing the advancement of the field of brain development in children and adolescents, and providing a better guide to the study of adolescents" education, health, and neurological disorders.
