Abstract/Summary: Administrative Supplement for the Center for Pediatric Brain Health The Center for Pediatric Brain Health is a NIGMS COBRE at Boys Town National Research Hospital (BTNRH) that recently entered its second year. The Center is housed in the new, state-of-the-art, 15,000+ square foot Institute for Human Neuroscience building on the main Boys Town campus. The key components of the Center include the Administrative Core, one research core (i.e., the Neural Quantification and Imaging Core), four research project leaders (RPLs), a Supervisory and Mentoring Committee, and a cohort of established pediatric neuroscientists. The Center has unique strengths in the area of dynamic neuroimaging, with one of the largest and most productive magnetoencephalography (MEG) groups in the world. MEG is a noninvasive neuroimaging method with millimeter spatial precision and millisecond temporal resolution that is ideal for studying children due to its open, non-claustrophobic design and completely silent data acquisition environment. However, like MRI and other human neuroimaging modalities, the method is susceptible to participant movement, which has typically limited its application to children who are typically about six years or older. In 2022, the Center for Pediatric Brain Health installed the first high-density optically-pumped magnetometry (OPM) unit in North America. OPM is a new method that measures the same magnetic fields detected in MEG but does so by harnessing recent breakthroughs in quantum physics that were rapidly accelerated by President Obama’s BRAIN Initiative. These key breakthroughs allow the sensors to operate at room temperature and be placed directly on the scalp, which means the measured magnetic fields are much stronger than in MEG (i.e., improved signal-to-noise ratio) and the sensors move with the head. The latter quality means that OPM is much more tolerant of head motion than MEG, MRI, and other comparable imaging modalities and thus enables high resolution imaging in very young children. Our current OPM array contains 128-channels and is optimized for older adolescents and adults and has been used extensively despite the short time since installation. During this time, we have also made custom arrays for babies as young as three-months-old by attaching the OPM sensors to baby hats (e.g., beanie caps) using custom 3D-printed clips. While such innovation has helped move us forward, a dedicated array for neonates, infants, and other very young children would revolutionize this work and lead to high precision dynamic functional maps of neural activity from babies at the earliest stages of life. Further, such a second array would allow “hyper-scanning” of parent-child dyads and illuminate how some of the most important social interactions in life shape the trajectory of brain development thereafter. Thus, through this administrative supplement and significant institutional funding, we are requesting support to acquire, install, and integrate a 64-channel OPM array for advancing pediatric neuroscience. When complete, this OPM system will be the first of its kind in the world and advance multiple research programs associated with our Center, while also establishing the Center as an international hub for developmental neuroscience.

摘要/总结：儿科脑健康中心的行政补充 儿童脑健康中心是男孩镇国家研究医院（BTNRH）的NIGMS COBRE 最近进入了第二个年头。该中心坐落在新的，最先进的，15,000+平方英尺 人类神经科学研究所（Institute for Human Neuroscience）位于Boys Town主校区。中心的主要组成部分 包括行政核心，一个研究核心（即，神经量化和成像核心），四个 研究项目负责人（RPL），监督和指导委员会，以及一个已建立的儿科队列 神经科学家该中心在动态神经成像领域具有独特的优势， 也是世界上最具生产力的脑磁图（MEG）小组。脑磁图是一种非侵入性的神经影像学检查 具有毫米级空间精度和毫秒级时间分辨率的方法，非常适合研究儿童 由于其开放、非幽闭恐怖的设计和完全安静的数据采集环境。但是像 MRI和其他人类神经成像模态，该方法易受参与者运动的影响，这使得 通常将其应用限于通常约六岁或六岁以上的儿童。 2022年，儿科大脑健康中心安装了第一台高密度光泵磁力仪 (OPM)单位在北美。OPM是一种新的方法，它测量与MEG中检测到的磁场相同的磁场 但这是通过利用最近量子物理学的突破来实现的， 奥巴马的大脑计划。这些关键突破使传感器能够在室温下工作， 直接放置在头皮上，这意味着测得的磁场比MEG中强得多（即， 改善的信噪比）并且传感器随头部移动。后一种质量意味着OPM 比MEG、MRI和其他可比较的成像方式更能容忍头部运动，因此能够实现高 分辨率成像在很小的孩子。我们目前的OPM阵列包含128个通道，针对以下方面进行了优化： 年龄较大的青少年和成年人，尽管安装时间很短，但已被广泛使用。期间 这一次，我们还为三个月大的婴儿制作了定制阵列， 传感器到婴儿帽子（例如，无檐帽）使用定制的3D打印剪辑。虽然这种创新有助于 为了推动我们向前发展，新生儿，婴儿和其他非常年幼的儿童专用阵列将彻底改变 这项工作，并导致高精度的动态功能地图的神经活动，从婴儿在最早的 人生的各个阶段。此外，这样的第二阵列将允许对父子二元体的“超扫描”，并且照亮 生活中一些最重要的社会互动如何塑造此后大脑发育的轨迹。 因此，通过这一行政补充和大量的机构供资，我们请求提供支助， 获取、安装和集成64通道OPM阵列，以推进儿科神经科学。完成后， 该OPM系统将是世界上第一个此类系统，并将推动多个相关研究项目的发展 与我们的中心，同时也建立了该中心作为一个国际中心的发展神经科学。
