The Incubator Channel · 27 Apr 2026 · 9 min
Summary
A PAS 2026 conference interview with Dr Kevin Cook (Developing Brain Institute, Children's National) on using functional MRI connectivity to compare preterm infants' brain development during the NICU stay with that of fetuses scanned in utero. It covers why extremely and very preterm infants show different connectivity patterns from moderately preterm babies, and plans to use early functional findings to predict neurodevelopmental outcomes at 36 months.
