This paper conducts a meta-analysis of fMRI data to compare neural activation during executive function tasks between preterm and full-term children and adults, finding age-specific differences in brain network engagement.

The paper introduces a novel metric, estimated axonal latency, to measure neuronal processing speed in autism spectrum disorder using MRI and EEG data.

The paper examines the link between parent attention-orienting behavior and neural entropy in 8-month-old infants during social interactions.

The paper examines the link between maternal postpartum depression and infant neural sensitivity to affective touch, finding reduced perceptual sensitivity in infants of mothers with higher depression levels.

The paper examines age-related differences in neural responses to social stimuli and their association with OXTR DNA methylation in young and older adults, finding an age-by-OXTR methylation interaction and the moderating role of perceived social support.

This study finds that preterm birth accelerates cortical maturation in both infants and mice, as evidenced by a flatter 1/f EEG slope and suppressed neuronal firing.

This paper develops and validates a standardized EEG preprocessing and entropy estimation pipeline called APPLESEED to reliably estimate scale-wise entropy for developmental studies.
