Quantization of Brain Development in Newborn Infants: Cortical Folding and Resting-State Network

Quantization of brain development in newborn infants is still a big challenge. It's has been suggested that brain development might be coupled with cortical folding, and resting-state network could detect the presence of spontaneous brain functional connectivity and reflect the basic activities of cortical neurons. We hypothesis that there is a variance of resting-state network with the development of brain function during cortex folding. Investigation of cortical folding and resting-state network in newborn infants would provide a new marker for brain development in the early life. Corresponding author: Yuan Sh…
