Near-infrared diffuse optical tomography (DOT), one of the most sophisticated optical
imaging techniques for observations through biological tissue, allows 3-D quantitative …

Early brain development, from the embryonic period to infancy, is characterized by rapid
structural and functional changes. These changes can be studied using structural and …

This report is the second part of a comprehensive two-part series aimed at reviewing an
extensive and diverse toolkit of novel methods to explore brain health and function. While …

This review describes the unique opportunities and challenges for noninvasive optical
mapping of human brain function. Diffuse optical methods offer safe, portable, and radiation …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a safe method to examine human brain. However, a
typical MR scan is very sensitive to motion, and it requires the subject to lie still during the …

Adequate oxygen delivery to a tissue depends on sufficient oxygen content in arterial blood
and blood flow to the tissue. Oximetry is a technique for the assessment of blood …

Studies of cortical function in the awake infant are extremely challenging to undertake with
traditional neuroimaging approaches. Partly in response to this challenge, functional near …

Background Despite advances in antenatal and neonatal care, preterm birth remains a
leading cause of neurological disabilities in children. Infants born prematurely, particularly …

Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) is one of the most prevalent brain functional imaging
modalities. Previous rs-fMRI studies have mainly focused on adults and elderly subjects …

Recent resting-state functional MRI investigations have demonstrated that much of the large-
scale functional network architecture supporting motor, sensory and cognitive functions in …
