Time at Home for Whom? Unequal Returns of Paid Family Leave for Infant White Matter and Language Development

The paper examines how maternal and paternal paid family leave relates to infant language and white matter development, finding education moderates some associations.

Early differential impact of MeCP2 mutations on functional networks in Rett syndrome patient-derived human cerebral organoids

This study examines how different MeCP2 mutations affect neuronal activity and network function in Rett syndrome organoids, finding mutation-specific impairments in connectivity and gene expression.

Demonstration of periodic and aperiodic EEG reliability between laboratory and clinic settings

This study compares EEG data quality and reliability between laboratory and clinic settings, finding high agreement in periodic and aperiodic features across age groups.

Longitudinal trajectories of aperiodic EEG activity in early to middle childhood

This study examines the nonlinear developmental trajectories of aperiodic EEG activity in children from infancy to age 7, finding sex and brain region differences and age-varying associations with maternal anxiety.

Growth charts of infant visual neurodevelopment generalize across global contexts

The paper creates longitudinal normative growth curves of visual cortex function using VEP data from infants in three countries, showing generalizability across contexts and associations with early environmental factors.

Examining the relationship between psychosocial adversity and inhibitory control: an fMRI study of children growing up in extreme poverty

This study examines how psychosocial adversity affects inhibitory control in children from low-resource environments using fMRI and behavioral data.

Brain Morphometry and Chronic Inflammation in Bangladeshi Children Growing up in Extreme Poverty

This study links chronic inflammation to brain morphometry in Bangladeshi children, showing inflammation mediates the effect of maternal education on putamen volume.

Developmental trajectories of EEG aperiodic and periodic power: Implications for understanding thalamocortical development during infancy.

The paper analyzes longitudinal EEG data from infants to identify age-related changes in periodic and aperiodic power, linking these changes to thalamocortical network development.

Brain Morphometry and Diminished Physical Growth in Bangladeshi Children Growing up in Extreme Poverty: a Longitudinal Study

This study examines how diminished physical growth in poor Bangladeshi children affects brain morphometry and neurocognitive outcomes.

Time-resolved multivariate pattern analysis of infant EEG data

The paper provides code and a pipeline for time-resolved multivariate pattern analysis of infant EEG data using linear SVM classification, showing reliable above-chance accuracy in both infants and adults.

Neural responses to happy, fearful and angry faces of varying identities in 5- and 7-month-old infants

The paper examines neural and behavioral responses to happy, fearful, and angry faces in 5- and 7-month-old infants, finding similar patterns despite age differences.

Temporal dynamics of visual representations in the infant brain

This study decodes visual representations from EEG data of infants and adults, finding that infants' neural representations are not linearly separable across visual domains and show developmental reorganization.

Within Visit Test-Retest Reliability of EEG Profiles in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Typical Development

The paper assesses the test-retest reliability of EEG PSD profiles in children with ASD and TD controls using two analytical approaches, showing stable individual signatures across sessions.

Relating anthropometric indicators to brain structure in 2-month-old Bangladeshi infants growing up in poverty: a pilot study

This study examines the relationship between anthropometric indicators and brain structure in 2-month-old Bangladeshi infants, finding positive correlations between white matter volume and height/weight-for-age scores.

Child Growth Predicts Brain Functional Connectivity and Future Cognitive Outcomes in Urban Bangladeshi Children Exposed to Early Adversities

The paper examines how child growth affects brain functional connectivity and future cognitive outcomes in Bangladeshi children exposed to early adversity, finding that faltered growth is linked to altered connectivity and reduced IQ.

Developmental Changes in EEG Phase Amplitude Coupling and Phase Preference over the First Three Years After Birth

This study examines how phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) changes in EEG data from 3-month-old to 3-year-old children, finding increased PAC in frontal and occipital regions with opposing phase preferences.

Early patterns of functional brain development associated with autism spectrum disorder in tuberous sclerosis complex.

The paper uses EEG to identify early functional brain differences in infants with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) that predict later autism spectrum disorder (ASD) development.

Reduced frontal gamma power at 24 months is associated with better expressive language in toddlers at risk for autism

The paper examines frontal gamma power in toddlers at risk for autism and finds reduced gamma power in high-risk toddlers without ASD is linked to better expressive language.
