Objective: PediaTrac™, a 363-item web-based tool to track infant development, administered in modules of ∼40-items per sampling period, newborn (NB), 2--, 4--, 6--, 9-- and 12--months was validated. Caregivers answered demographic, medical, and environmental questions, and questions covering the sensorimotor, feeding/eating, sleep, speech/language, cognition, social-emotional, and attachment domains.
Methods: Expert Panel Reviews and Cognitive Interviews (CI) were conducted to validate the item bank.
Illuminating the pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie persistent postconcussive symptoms following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a growing area of study. Alhourani et al. ( J Neurophysiol 116: 1840-1847, 2016) added to this emerging body of literature with their study examining default mode network disruption in mTBI using magnetoencephalography.

Article Synopsis
- Disrupted neural synchrony, particularly in the gamma frequency band, may be a key issue in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), impacting brain communication and connectivity.
- A study using magnetoencephalography compared neural coherence in 12 children with ASD to 13 neurotypical children, finding that those with ASD exhibited significantly lower synchronization across all measured frequency bands, especially in the gamma band.
- The research indicated that lower gamma coherence in specific brain regions correlated with poorer social functioning in children with ASD, suggesting a link between neural connectivity patterns and social communication abilities.
