Purpose of Review Substantial research exists focusing on the various aspects and domains of early human development. However, there is a clear blind spot in early postnatal development when dealing with neurodevelopmental disorders, especially those that manifest themselves clinically only in late infancy or even in…

During late gestation and early postnatal development a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors drive the maturation of the human cortex. This process is regionally heterogeneous, with cortical areas developing at different paces and trajectories. Leveraging submillimetre T1-weighted/T2w-weighted (T1w/T2w)…

Human development is marked by extended immaturity, necessitating extended care throughout infancy and childhood, facilitating advanced cognitive, social, and cultural skill acquisition. Parallels of extended development are also present in our closest living relatives, bonobos (Pan paniscus) and chimpanzees (Pan…

The first year of life is a key period of brain development, characterized by dramatic structural and functional modifications. Here, we measured rest cerebral blood flow (CBF) modifications throughout babies’ first year of life using arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging sequence in 52 infants, from 3 to…

'Chiara Viglione' 'Stefano Vecchi' 'Marco Chiera' 'Andrea Manzotti'] The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is one of the main biological systems that regulates the body's physiology. ANS regulatory capacity begins before birth as the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity contributes significantly to the fetus'…

Complex perinatal syndromes (CPS) affecting pregnancy and childhood, such as preterm birth, and intra- and extra-uterine growth restriction, have multiple, diverse contexts of complexity and interaction that determine the short- and long-term growth, health and development of all human beings. Early in life…

Neonates undergo rapid development, yet the examination of emerging brain markers across paradigms, cognitive domains and diverse global populations remains limited. This study investigated whether brain responses at one-month-of-age could be interrogated across paradigms to offer deeper context-specific insights into…

Our study aimed to provide a detailed account of the neurodevelopment of 35 healthy term infants, longitudinally documented and scored at 6- and 10-weeks postnatal age, utilising the HNNE to assess 34 neurological items. In contrast to the notable findings of Guzzetta et al. (), who identified 6 weeks as a crucial…

In the perinatal period, reward and cognitive systems begin trajectories, influencing later psychiatric risk. The basal ganglia is critical for reward and cognitive processing but early development is understudied. To assess age-related development, we used a measure of basal ganglia physiology, specifically brain…

The third trimester of pregnancy represents a sensitive phase for infant brain plasticity when a series of fast-developing cellular events (synaptogenesis, neuronal migration, and myelination) regulates the development of neural circuits. Throughout this dynamic period of growth and development, the human brain is…

—From crying to babbling and then to speech, infants' vocal tract goes through anatomic restructuring. In this paper, we propose a non-invasive fast method of using infant cry signals with convolutional neural network (CNN) based age classification to diagnose the abnormality of the vocal tract development as early as…

This paper presents a complete theory of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), explaining its etiology, symptoms, and pathology. The core cause of ASD is excessive stress-induced postnatal release of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). CRH competes with urocortins for binding to the CRH2 receptor, impairing their…

The aim of government with the help of the Ghana Health Service (GHS) and other stakeholders has been to reduce the level of child morbidity which leads to child mortality in Ghana. This study on natal care and its implication on child morbidity would help the government in formulating appropriate policies to curb this…

Background Infants born <30 weeks’ gestation are at increased risk of long term neurodevelopmental problems compared with term born peers. The predictive value of neurobehavioural examinations at term equivalent age in very preterm infants has been reported for subsequent impairment. Yet there is little knowledge…

Adverse perinatal factors can disrupt the normal development of the brain, with potential long-term impacts on children’s overall development. Currently, the neuropathological mechanisms by which these factors lead to various neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) remain largely unknown. An open resource that integrate…

Despite advances in medical sciences in diagnosis and treatment of diseases, the developmental delay of infants is still considered one of the global health problems in developed and developing countries (). Developmental delay usually refers to children that do not display prominent developmental features that they…

Exposure to man-made and natural chemicals is a major, yet not sufficiently considered, environmental risk factor in the etiology of chronic diseases. Current human biomonitoring approaches typically measure a limited number of exposures rather than investigating complex mixtures. The latter would be fundamental and…

The purpose of this study was to describe the trends of research on follow-up care after neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) graduation for children born preterm. This scoping review was conducted according to Arksey and O’Malley’s guidelines. Reviewed studies were searched in PubMed, CHINAHL, and Web of Science.…

Breast milk is a key matrix for assessing early-life exposure. Dried milk spots (DMS) and microsampling devices are convenient low-volume sampling alternatives. Here, a sample preparation protocol and LC-MS/MS method for (semi-)quantitively assessing 216 xenobiotics in DMS were optimized and evaluated. Two extraction…
