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 …

Sleep is a key process in neurodevelopment and essential for the maturation of fundamental
brain functions. Premature birth can disturb the initial steps of sleep maturation, which may …

Significance Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a frequently used
neuroimaging tool to explore the developing brain, particularly in infancy, with studies …

Background When characterizing the brain's resting state functional connectivity (RSFC)
networks, demonstrating networks' similarity across sessions and reliability across different …

Significance: Neonates are a highly vulnerable population. The risk of brain injury is greater
during the first days and weeks after birth than at any other time of life. Functional …

Studies of cortical function in newborn infants in clinical settings are extremely challenging
to undertake with traditional neuroimaging approaches. Partly in response to this challenge …

Significance: Early monolingual versus bilingual experience induces adaptations in the
development of linguistic and cognitive processes, and it modulates functional activation …

Brain connectivity closely reflects brain function and behavior. Sleep EEG coherence, a
measure of brain's connectivity during sleep, undergoes pronounced changes across …

Electroencephalography measures are of interest in developmental neuroscience as
potentially reliable clinical markers of brain function. Features extracted from …

Resting functional MRI studies of the infant brain are increasingly becoming an important
tool in developmental neuroscience. Whereas the test-retest reliability of functional …
