Effect of sleep stages on patterns of fNIRS hemodynamic response to auditory paradigms in one-month-old Gambian and UK infants

Maria Rozhko, Merel van der Straaten, Borja Blanco, Isobel Greenhalgh, Johann Benerradi, Sophie E. Moore, Clare E. Elwell, Sarah Lloyd‐Fox, Anna Blasi

This study examines how sleep stages affect fNIRS-measured hemodynamic responses to auditory stimuli in one-month-old Gambian and UK infants, finding cohort-specific differences in response patterns.

Caregiver-infant interactions selectively shape emerging functional connectivity in the neonatal brain

Laura Carnevali, Borja Blanco, Maria Rozhko, Matthew Weatherhead, Mark Henry Johnson, Sarah Lloyd‐Fox, The PIPKIN Study Team

This study shows that caregiver-infant interactions influence functional connectivity in the neonatal brain during the first postnatal month, with specific effects on short- and long-range connectivity.
