Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, 55 children were enrolled and Data of NIRS, MRI and developmental prognoses were collected. NIRS measurements were performed longitudinally for the infants. Forty-six children completed a developmental test at the age of 3. In the normal developmental group, functional connectivity between the regions showed a tendency to increase as the conception weeks increased. The connectivity in the temporal regions was already observed at 26 weeks of conception, and in the frontal regions at 30 and 34 weeks, respectively. In infants with unilateral brain injury, functional connectivity was decreased on the injured side. After the developmental examination is completed, we will classify the children into good and poor developmental groups and compare the trajectory of functional connectivity between them.
