چکیده
M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 CONCLUSIONS: Bitemporal to biparietal ratios are a quantitative, objective clinical measure that can be used to differentiate patients with significant trigonocephaly from those with metopic ridging but no significant cranial deformity. In no case of trigonocephaly did CT scan provide information that would alter surgical planning beyond that obtained from caliper measurements. These findings confirm that caliper-derived indices can accurately characterize surgically relevant cranial vault deformities secondary to metopic synostosis. Caliper-derived measures can reliably replace CT-based analysis, keeping pace with changing demands for health care delivery in infants.with metopic synostosis.

Abstract 125: Comparison of Neural Response to Language in Infants with Nonsyndromic Craniosynostosis
PURPOSE: There is growing evidence that nonsyndromic craniosynostosis (NSC) is associated with functional disabilities in learning and language. To further characterize the neurocognitive changes associated with this condition, we have used auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) to study language acquisition in NSC infants. Mismatch negativity (MMN) is an ERP component that has been used to p...

متن کاملImpact of second-language experience in infancy: brain measures of first- and second-language speech perception.
Language experience 'narrows' speech perception by the end of infants' first year, reducing discrimination of non-native phoneme contrasts while improving native-contrast discrimination. Previous research showed that declines in non-native discrimination were reversed by second-language experience provided at 9-10 months, but it is not known whether second-language experience affects first-lang...
متن کاملDetermination of Cranial Index in Sagittal Synostosis using Artificial Intelligent Techniques
Background: At least one main suture of skull is closed prematurely in craniosynostosis; which may lead to different skull and face deformities and various types of child developmental delay. Increased postero-anterior diameter of skull is the main characteristic of sagittal craniosynostosis. Cranial index is the most important parameter for diagnosis and monitoring of children with this deform...
متن کاملCommon neural basis for phoneme processing in infants and adults.
Investigating the degree of similarity between infants' and adults' representation of speech is critical to our understanding of infants' ability to acquire language. Phoneme perception plays a crucial role in language processing, and numerous behavioral studies have demonstrated similar capacities in infants and adults, but are these subserved by the same neural substrates or networks? In this...
