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

Recent progress in functional neuroimaging research has provided the opportunity to probe
at the brain's intrinsic functional architecture. Synchronized spontaneous neuronal activity is …

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 …

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 …

The functions of the resting state networks (RSNs) revealed by functional MRI remain
unclear, but it has seemed possible that networks emerge in parallel with the development …

During the first 6–7 years of life children undergo a period of major neurocognitive
development. Higher‐order cognitive functions such as executive control of attention …

Premature birth is associated with high rates of motor and cognitive disability. Investigations
have described resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) correlates of …

Early brain development is characterized by rapid growth and perpetual reconfiguration,
driven by a dynamic milieu of heterogeneous processes. Postnatal brain plasticity is …

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 …

A robust functional bimodality is found in the long-range spatial correlations of newborn
cortical activity, and it likely provides the developmentally crucial functional coordination …
