Early brain development, from the embryonic period to infancy, is characterized by rapid
structural and functional changes. These changes can be studied using structural and …

Researchers have examined representations of the body in the adult brain but relatively little
attention has been paid to ontogenetic aspects of neural body maps in human infants. Novel …

There is growing interest concerning the ways in which the human body, both one's own and
that of others, is represented in the developing human brain. In two experiments with 7 …

Brain development has largely been studied through unimodal analysis of neuroimaging
data, providing independent results for structural and functional data. However, structure …

In infants, the fontanels and sutures as well as conductivity of the skull influence the volume
currents accompanying primary currents generated by active neurons and thus the …

The mysteries of early development of cortical processing in humans have started to unravel
with the help of new non-invasive brain research tools like multichannel …

The millisecond time resolution of magnetoencephalography (MEG) is instrumental for
investigating the brain basis of sensory processing, motor planning, cognition, and social …

A large literature has examined somatotopic representations of the body in the adult brain,
but little attention has been paid to the development of somatotopic neural organization in …

When we sense a touch, our brains take account of our current limb position to determine
the location of that touch in external space [1, 2]. Here we show that changes in the way the …

Background Unusual behavioral reactions to sensory stimuli are frequently reported in
individuals on the autism spectrum (AS). Despite the early emergence of sensory features (< …
