Early brain imaging for memory development in newborns
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford.
- Your baby must be born at or after 35 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby must be less than 7 days old at the time of the study.
- Your baby must not have certain brain conditions, such as lack of oxygen at birth or significant bleeding in the brain.
- Your baby must not have received any pain or calming medication in the last 24 hours.
- Your baby must not have a known genetic condition that affects brain development, and your family must not have a history of substance abuse.

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 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 MRI scans to look at the brains of healthy children ages 9 to 14. It helps researchers learn about normal brain development.
This study uses MRI scans of the brain to help doctors better understand and diagnose inherited conditions that affect children's brains. It may help find clearer signs of these diseases on imaging, which could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
This study looks at how babies' brains develop, comparing infants who had a brain injury around birth with healthy babies. It could help understand early thinking and learning abilities.
This study uses brain testing (including MRI scanning) to better understand how young children’s brains support social emotions and communication. It may help researchers learn what brain patterns look like in typical early development.
