Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Magnetoencephalography(MEG), developmental psychological examination, and brain MRI analysis were performed on very low birth weight infants at the age of five. As a result of examining the brain activity components on the MEG obtained when the subject was stimulated by voice or non-voice in 41 cases, the earlier the gestational age, the shorter the P1m latency. In addition, MRI volume analysis suggested that the decrease in white matter volume showed an improving trend at the age of five. The above results were considered to be consistent with the plasticity of the brain.
