Neonatal cortical surface parcels derived based on abrupt changes in functional connectivity (FC) were highly homogenous and were validated in external neonatal datasets.Borders between cortical parcels were smoother (less abrupt) in group-average neonatal data compared to adults, likely due to increased heterogeneity in boundary location across individual neonates.Parcels derived from adults and older infants show poor fit with neonatal resting-state FC data, underscoring the need for a neonatal-specific parcellation.
