A new machine learning methodology, the brain development index (BDI) [ 38], summarizes the multivariate pattern of structural brain development using a large sample of subjects ages 8 22, and can accurately delineate trajectories of brain development.
All of the infants were recruited as part of a larger longitudinal study of the effects of prematurity on early brain development using MRI scanning, and were scanned only for research reasons with no clinical indication for imaging.
To gain more insights into the role of dystrophin in this cognitive phenotype, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the expression patterns of dystrophin isoforms across human brain development, using unique transcriptomic data from Allen Human Brain and BrainSpan atlases.
Kam Sripada, Ed.M.'10, received a Fulbright grant to study in Norway where she will join a team researching children's brain development using diffusion tensor imaging and behavioral assessment over time, as part of the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study.
He led a prospective clinical research study assessing fetal brain development using in utero magnetic resonance imaging, in addition to conducting research in the imaging of suspected physical child abuse.
Closing the current gap in developmental cognitive neuroscience in respect to TES, along with its potential effects and possible risks, will allow us to assess whether optimizing cognitive training of individuals with atypical brain development using TES is achievable.
We have used the chronically catheterized ovine fetus to determine the effects of synthetic glucocorticoids that are administered at doses used clinically on cerebral protein synthesis during early brain development using [13C]-leucine tracer method.
- Children face increased risks of cancer, reproductive disorders and concerns about brain development using baby bottles and pacifiers due to BPA. - Plastic pollution can be found in varying amounts in every ocean basin, every beach in the world, and inside one third of endangered leatherback sea turtles.
Recent advances in the differentiation protocols of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) that recapitulate human neural development, and which produce neural progenitors and neurons very similar to the in vivo counterparts, have made it possible to model human brain development using hPSCs.
