TL;DR

Preterm birth exerts a gestational age-dependent gradient effect on resting-state brain functional connectivity, with smaller gestational age associated with more pronounced reductions.

Resting-State Functional Brain Connectivity and Neurodevelopmental Profiles in 3-Year-Olds with Congenital Heart Disease

Background/Objectives: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is associated with altered brain development and an increased risk of neurodevelopmental difficulties, particularly in more severe forms of the condition. Although alterations in functional brain connectivity have been reported before and after the first corrective...

Association of Abnormal Cerebral Perfusion in Very Preterm Infants With Late-Onset Sepsis and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at 2 Years of Age: A Prospective Cohort Study Using Arterial Spin Labeling.

LOS was associated with lower regional CBF, and associations of composite and right gyrus rectus perfusion with personal-social scores differed by LOS status, with positive associations among LOS infants.

Resting-state functional connectivity alterations and neurodevelopmental outcomes in neonates at high risk of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury.

BACKGROUND High risk of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury during the neonatal period may disrupt early brain maturation, yet its impact on large-scale functional network organization and later neurodevelopment remains insufficiently understood. METHODS Resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) was used...

Altered connectivity and network efficiency in preterm infants

These findings support the feasibility of harmonizing multi-site neonatal rs-fMRI data and suggest that prematurity at TEA is characterized by widespread functional hypoconnectivity and a shift in the balance between local network segregation and large-scale functional integration.

Frontal lead in preterm functional brain maturation

Understanding how brain maturation unfolds in preterm neonates is critical for both neuroscience and clinical care. Structural MRI suggests that the frontal cortex develop late, yet EEG offers a direct window into functional activity that follows a different trajectory. We analysed 211 EEG recordings from 62 preterm ne...

Frequency-specific gyro-sulcal functional differentiation in preterm neonates: Sulcal dominance and gene expression correlates

Preterm birth affects up to 10.6% of neonates and increases neurodevelopmental risks, yet functional brain alterations remain poorly understood. Using resting-state fMRI data from 437 neonates and a one-dimensional convolutional neural network, this study investigated frequency-specific functional differences between g...
