In the last decade, advances in neuroimaging technologies have given rise to a large
number of research studies that investigate the neural underpinnings of executive function …

A decade has passed since near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was first applied to functional
brain imaging in infants. As part of the team that published the first functional near infrared …

Myelin sheaths provide critical functional and trophic support for axons in white matter tracts
of the brain. Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) have extraordinary metabolic …

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 …

Optical brain imaging has seen 30 years of intense development, and has grown into a rich
and diverse field. In-vivo imaging using light provides unprecedented sensitivity to functional …

Neurobiological studies of attachment are either abundant or scarce, depending on one's
research tradition and scientific understanding of the term “attachment.” On the one hand …

This article reviews the basic principles of frequency-domain near-infrared spectroscopy (FD-
NIRS), which relies on intensity-modulated light sources and phase-sensitive optical …

Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) measurements of blood flow rely on the sensitivity of
the temporal autocorrelation function of diffusively scattered light to red blood cell (RBC) …

ABSTRACT Background and Context: There are studies which indicate that computer
programming supports high-level abilities for everyone such as creative thinking …

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