Preterm birth is the greatest risk factor for lifelong neurocognitive deficits, globally. The effect
of prematurity on early cortical network function has, however, remained poorly understood …

Large-scale coupling in neuronal activity is essential in all cognitive functions, but its
emergence and functional correlates are poorly known in the human newborn. This study …

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

We examine the coherence in the spontaneous brain activity of sleeping children as
measured by the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance …

Structural brain connections develop atypically in very preterm children, and altered
functional connectivity is also evident in fMRI studies. Such alterations in brain network …

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 …

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 …

Functional connectivity (FC) is known to be individually unique and to reflect cognitive
variability. Although FC can serve as a valuable correlate and potential predictor of (patho-) …

Very preterm infants (≤ 31 weeks gestational age) are at high risk for brain injury and
delayed development. Applying functional connectivity and graph theory methods to resting …

Inter-areal synchronization by phase–phase correlations (PPCs) of cortical oscillations
mediates many higher neurocognitive functions, which are often affected by prematurity, a …
