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

Human large-scale functional brain networks are hypothesized to undergo significant
changes over development. Little is known about these functional architectural changes …

Very preterm infants (≤ 31 weeks gestational age) are at high risk for brain injury and
delayed development. Applying functional connectivity and graph theory methods to resting …

Individuals born very preterm (< 32 weeks gestation) are at increased risk for neuromotor
impairments. The ability to characterize the structural and functional mechanisms underlying …

Premature birth is associated with high rates of motor and cognitive disability. Investigations
have described resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) correlates of …

Brain development is adversely affected by preterm birth. Magnetic resonance image
analysis has revealed a complex fusion of structural alterations across all tissue …

Background It is well established that preterm infants have altered brain development
compared with full-term (FT;≥ 37 weeks' gestational age [GA]) infants, however the perinatal …

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 …

Advances in neuroimaging have increasingly enabled researchers to investigate whether
alterations in brain development commonly identified in preterm infants underlie their high …

The period immediately after birth is a critical developmental window, capturing rapid
maturation of brain structure and a child's earliest experiences. Large-scale brain systems …
