ABSTRACT Perinatal period is a critical time for brain development and premature-born children have an elevated likelihood for neurodevelopmental conditions. While strong associations of structural magnetic resonance imaging with preterm birth and post-menstrual age (PMA) have been reported, results…

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Elevated pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and perinatal depressive symptoms have been linked to neonatal alterations in brain structure and function. This study examined associations between neonatal functional brain dynamics, maternal BMI, and perinatal depressive symptoms measured…
