Optical approaches to investigate cerebral function and metabolism have long been applied
in invasive studies. From the neuron cultured in vitro to the exposed cortex in the human …

By 1985 newly devised behavioural and electrophysiological techniques had been used to
track development of infants' acuity, contrast sensitivity and binocularity, and for clinical …

Application of resting state functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI) to
the study of prematurely born infants enables assessment of the earliest forms of cerebral …

Human infants begin to acquire their native language in the first months of life. To determine
which brain regions support language processing at this young age, we measured with …

Objective: The authors reviewed available evidence on neonatal neuroimaging strategies
for evaluating both very low birth weight preterm infants and encephalopathic term …

In the rodent brain the hemodynamic response to a brief external stimulus changes
significantly during development. Analogous changes in human infants would complicate …

Advanced neuroimaging techniques have been increasingly applied to the study of preterm
and term infants in an effort to further define the functional cerebral architecture of the …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Unlike conventional functional MR imaging where
external sensory/cognitive paradigms are needed to specifically activate different regions of …

The field of adult neuroimaging relies on well-established principles in research design,
imaging sequences, processing pipelines, as well as safety and data collection protocols …

In the adult brain, increases in local neural activity are almost always accompanied by
increases in local blood flow. However, many functional imaging studies of the newborn and …
