Imaging Neuroscience, 2026•direct.mit.edu
Sex differences in child neurobehavioral health suggest that male and female brains differ early in development. We took advantage of recent advances for in-utero magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to conduct a pre-registered systematic review and meta-analysis of sex differences in
brain structure and network connectivity of human fetuses. PubMed literature searching yielded 4,738 studies published between 2002 and 2025. All studies were screened by two independent reviewers and included if either structural or
