Article Synopsis
- There is increasing interest in studying the brain development of fetuses using Resting State fMRI, but conventional methods struggle due to movement from both the mother's breathing and the fetus itself.
- Researchers developed a new processing framework that corrects for these large movements, using advanced techniques to align and standardize the data.
- Testing showed that this method successfully identified 20 brain networks in 8 fetuses, with 6 of those networks resembling patterns seen in preterm infants.
Introduction: Visual impairment in preterm infants at term equivalent age (TEA) is associated with impaired microstructural development in the optic radiation, measured as reduced fractional anisotropy (FA) by Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI). We tested the hypothesis that these abnormalities develop during the late preterm period.
Methods: DTI was performed in 53 infants born at a median (range) of 30(+1) (25(+4)-34(+6)) weeks post-menstrual age (PMA), 22 of whom were imaged twice.
