520 3 |a The thalamus is a central component of the brain that is involved in a variety of functions, from sensory processing to high-order cognition. Its structure and function in the first weeks of extrauterine life, including its connections to different cortical and subcortical areas, have not yet been widely explored. Here, we used resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging data of 730 newborns from the developing Human Connectome Project to study the functional organization of the thalamus from 37 to 44 post-conceptual weeks. We introduce KNIT: K-means for Nuclei in Infant Thalamus. The framework employs a highly granular vector space of 40 features, each corresponding to functional connectivity to a brain region, using k-means clustering and uncertainty quantification through bootstrapping to delineate thalamic units. Although the different clusters showed common patterns of increased connectivity to the superior temporal gyrus, the parietal, and the frontal cortex, implying an expected decrease in specialization at that age, they also show some specificity. That is, a pulvinar unit was identified, similar to the adult thalamus. Ventrolateral motor and medial salience units were also highlighted. The latter appeared around 41 weeks of age, while the former showed at least from 37 weeks, but had a decrease in volume through age, replaced mostly by a dominant dorsal thalamic unit. We also observed an increase in clustering robustness and in hemispheric bilateral symmetry with age, suggesting more specialized functional units. We also found a burst in global thalamic connectivity around 41 weeks. Finally, we demonstrate the benefits of this method in terms of granularity compared to the more conventional winner-takes-all approach.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.Footnotes* https://www.developingconnectome.org/data-release/third-data-release/
