Novel robotic solutions for functional MRI studies of preterm infants
2 we have studied and characterized the somatosensory cerebral response of premature infants using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and bespoke MR safe robotic interfaces.
متن کامل"Willed action": a functional MRI study of the human prefrontal cortex during a sensorimotor task.
Functional MRI (fMRI) was used to examine human brain activity within the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during a sensorimotor task that had been proposed to require selection between several responses, a cognitive concept termed "willed action" in a positron emission tomography (PET) study by Frith et al. [Frith, C. D., Friston, K., Liddle, P. F. & Frackowiak, R. S. J. (1991) Proc. R. Soc. Lon...
متن کاملSomatosensory cortical activation identified by functional MRI in preterm and term infants
Functional MRI (fMRI) has not previously been used systematically to investigate brain function in preterm infants. We here describe statistically robust and reproducible fMRI results in this challenging subject group using a programmable somatosensory stimulus synchronized with MR image acquisition which induced well-localized positive blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) responses contralatera...
متن کاملFunctional Laterality of Task-Evoked Activation in Sensorimotor Cortex of Preterm Infants: An Optimized 3 T fMRI Study Employing a Customized Neonatal Head Coil
BACKGROUND Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in neonates has been introduced as a non-invasive method for studying sensorimotor processing in the developing brain. However, previous neonatal studies have delivered conflicting results regarding localization, lateralization, and directionality of blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) responses in sensorimotor cortex (SMC). Amongst t...
متن کاملFunctional MRI of the sensorimotor system in newborns
Preterm birth before 32 weeks gestational age (GA) is associated with a high incidence of periventricular white matter injury (PWMI). Early prediction of motor deficits associated with PWMI has a fundamental clinical impact on the management of extremely preterm children. Reliable early predictive measures are warranted to allow for prompt and lesionoriented rehabilitative treatment approaches....
