Study of newborn brain development and response to care
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how newborns’ brains develop and how they respond to an intervention. It helps researchers understand brain organization in individual babies so care can improve in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to speak English
- A parent/guardian must be able to give informed consent
- Your baby must be born at 35 weeks or later (not very premature)
- The baby must not have neonatal encephalopathy (a specific serious brain condition in newborns)
- The participant must not be pregnant (if the participant would be under 18) and must not be a person in prison
- There must be no active severe mental health symptoms like psychosis, mania, or suicidal thoughts, and no active substance dependence

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how infants’ movement (motility) and early thinking (cognition) develop over time. It may help researchers better understand normal development in healthy babies.
This study uses safe MRI scans during natural sleep to look at how babies' brains develop, especially those at risk for cerebral palsy. It aims to find early signs of movement problems so treatment can start sooner.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive ultrasound technique to measure brain activity in newborn babies. It aims to understand brain development and connectivity in preterm infants, infants with birth-related oxygen deprivation, growth-restricted babies, siblings of children with autism, and healthy full-term babies.
This study looks at how well babies recover after certain types of brain injuries that happen around birth, such as stroke, bleeding, or lack of oxygen. You might join if your baby fits the specific age range and has a confirmed injury on brain imaging.
This study looks at how the brain “mirrors” or responds to actions, with the goal of finding early signs of neurodevelopmental disorders. It includes healthy adults and infants, and infants who may be at risk, to compare brain patterns early on.
This study checks how newborn brains respond by using painless sensors on the head. It focuses on babies during their first month after birth, to help researchers understand early brain function and development.
