Examining brain development changes during birth in babies
Longitudinal assessment of human brain connectome changes across the birth transition in both term and preterm pregnancies
['FUNDING_CAREER'] · NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE · NIH-10785703
This study is looking at how babies' brains grow and change right after birth, whether they are born on time or early, to help us understand how their brain development can be different from what we expect.

What this research studies
This research investigates how the brain develops during the critical transition of birth, focusing on both term and preterm infants. By utilizing advanced neuroimaging techniques and comprehensive behavioral assessments, the study aims to map the development of brain circuits over time. Participants will undergo brain imaging to track changes and help create a 'brain age' index that reflects individual brain maturation. This research is essential for understanding normal and atypical brain development in early life.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation include infants born at term or preterm, particularly those under 11 years old.
Not a fit: Patients who are older than 11 years or those with pre-existing severe neurological conditions may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved understanding and interventions for brain development issues in infants.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown promising results in understanding brain development using neuroimaging techniques, making this approach both relevant and potentially impactful.
