Talking Brains: Neonatal Aperiodic Activity in Resting State EEG Relates to Later Communicative Abilities

This study finds that neonatal resting-state EEG aperiodic activity relates to 12-month communicative abilities in typically developing infants, showing an inverted U-shaped relationship.

From Variability to Synchrony: Non-linear Development of Auditory Neural Responses During the First Year of Life

This study tracks auditory neural development in infants using hdEEG, showing increased neural synchrony and reduced variability over the first year, with a nonlinear pattern of phase synchronization.

Fetal Dehydroepiandrosterone from Hair Samples at Birth Predicts Language Development

This study finds that fetal DHEA levels measured in newborn hair predict lower language scores at six months, while testosterone and cognitive abilities are not associated.

Maternal characteristics and their relation to early mother-child interaction and cognitive development in toddlers

The paper examines how maternal personality traits and mental health relate to early child cognitive development and mother-child interaction patterns in toddlers.

Neural speech tracking in newborns: prenatal learning and contributing factors

The paper investigates prenatal language learning in newborns using EEG, finding evidence of discrimination between familiar and unfamiliar rhymes, prosodic learning, and correlations between maternal depression, fetal stress, and later language development.

Actigraphy in brain-injured patients - A valid measurement for assessing circadian rhythms?

This study assesses whether circadian rhythms in brain-injured patients can be accurately measured using actigraphy after correcting for passive movements.
