The feasibility to use functional MRI (fMRI) during natural sleep to assess low-frequency
basal brain activity fluctuations in human neonates has been demonstrated, although its …

Objective Although neuronal activity drives all aspects of cortical development, how human
brain rhythms spontaneously mature remains an active area of research. We sought to …

The proper development of sleep and sleep-wake rhythms during early neonatal life is
crucial to lifelong neurological well-being. Recent data suggests that infants who have poor …

Brain functional dynamics have been linked to emotion and cognition in mature individuals,
where alterations are associated with mental ill-health and neurodevelopmental conditions …

Sleep architecture carries vital information about brain health across the lifespan. In
particular, the ability to express distinct vigilance states is a key physiological marker of …

Advances in neonatal medicine have resulted in a larger proportion of preterm-born
individuals reaching adulthood. Their increased liability to psychiatric illness and …

Developmental delays in infanthood often persist, turning into life-long difficulties, and
coming at great cost for the individual and community. By examining the developing brain …

The formation of resting-state functional networks in infancy has been reported to be strongly
impacted by very preterm birth. Studies in childhood and adolescence have largely focused …

Nearly 10% of premature infants are born very preterm at 32 weeks gestational age or less
in the United States. Up to 35% of these very preterm survivors are at risk for cognitive and …

The adult brain is organized into distinct functional networks, forming the basis of information
processing and determining individual differences in behavior. Is this network organization …
