Postnatal brain development is notably protracted and involves considerable changes in cerebral cortical, subcortical, and cerebellar structures, as well as significant architectural changes in white matter fiber tracts.  Figure 6 shows the image difference between the MRI acquired on one subject at 2 and 4 years old.

The box plots in Figure 7 regarding R c, R p, and SIM datasets illustrate both central tendency and dispersion of the resulting set of weights. In Figure 7(c) it is also possible to notice that the distributions for all the weights are negatively skewed, while for the real data they are more symmetric.
