Imaging biomarkers of outcome in the developing preterm brain.
28 Sep 2009 
The neurodevelopmental disabilities of those who were born prematurely have been well described, yet the underlying alterations in brain development that lead to these changes remain poorly understood. Processes that are vulnerable to injury in the ... Read more...
15 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Skin-to-skin contact (SSC) promotes physiological stability and interaction between parents and infants. Analyses of EEG-sleep studies can compare functional brain maturation between SSC and non-SSC cohorts. METHODS: Sixteen EEG-sleep ... Read more...
30 Jul 2009 Babies have specific needs that assist them in their development and enable them to thrive. Feeding is an important aspect of development. When feeding, there are opportunities for babies to develop a positive interactive bond with parents. This has ... Read more...
