During evolution, the cerebral cortex advances by increasing in surface and the introduction
of new cytoarchitectonic areas among which the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is considered to be …

The role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) takes center stage among unanswered questions in
modern neuroscience. The PFC has a Janus-faced nature: it enables sophisticated cognitive …

Throughout development, the brain transits from early highly synchronous activity patterns to
a mature state with sparse and decorrelated neural activity, yet the mechanisms underlying …

Humans are endowed with an exceptional ability for detecting faces, a competence that, in
adults, is supported by a set of face-specific cortical patches. Human newborns, already …

There is a growing interest in using electroencephalography (EEG) and source modeling to
investigate functional interactions among cortical processes, particularly when dealing with …

Exposure to environmental adversities during early brain development, such as preterm
birth, can affect early brain organization. Here, we studied whether development of cortical …

White matter (WM) injury, once known primarily in preterm newborns, is emerging in its non-
focal (diffused), non-necrotic form as a critical component of subtle brain injuries in many …

Background Perinatal asphyxia often leads to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) with a
high risk of neurodevelopmental consequences. While moderate and severe HIE link to high …

Neural activity is both a driver of brain development and a readout of developmental
processes. Changes in neuronal activity are therefore both the cause and consequence of …

Despite shared procedures with adults, electroencephalography (EEG) in early
development presents many specificities that need to be considered for good quality data …
