Brain imaging study for newborn infants
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is either extremely preterm (23-27 weeks), very preterm (28-31 weeks), or full-term with certain conditions.
- Your baby has neonatal encephalopathy due to lack of oxygen and is receiving cooling treatment.
- Your baby has intrauterine growth restriction (low birth weight or small head size) and is between 32-40 weeks at birth.
- Your baby has a sibling diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and is under 6 months old.
- Your baby is healthy, full-term (39-40 weeks), with normal birth weight and no pregnancy complications.
- Parents or legal guardians must give permission and baby must be covered by social security.

This study measures a newborn’s brain activity immediately after delivery. It may help doctors better understand early brain function in healthy full-term babies.
This study uses a special 3D ultrasound to take detailed images of your baby's brain. The goal is to find early signs that can predict how well your baby will develop, so doctors can offer the right support early on.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how memory starts to form in newborn babies' brains. It may help us understand early brain development, but it is only for healthy newborns born at a specific hospital.
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 looks at how babies’ brains get used to repeated sights or sounds (habituation) in both preterm and full-term infants. It may help researchers understand early brain development differences and improve care for newborns.
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.
