Electromagnetic source characterisation requires accurate volume conductor models
representing head geometry and the electrical conductivity field. Head tissue conductivity is …

Spanning functions from the simplest reflex arc to complex cognitive processes, neural
circuits have diverse functional roles. In the cerebral cortex, functional domains such as …

Brain injury in premature infants is of enormous public health importance because of the
large number of such infants who survive with serious neurodevelopmental disability …

Context Preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, and delivery-related hypoxia have
been associated with schizophrenia. It is unclear whether these associations pertain to other …

Objective: Although many perinatal factors have been linked to adverse
neurodevelopmental outcomes in very premature infants, much of the variation in outcome …
